Lully

Lully is a village at the southern edge of Bernex municipality, where residential neighborhoods sit alongside agricultural fields and the Aire river. The landscape shows a mix of farming land and suburban homes spread across the terrain.

The village grew from an agricultural settlement into a suburban neighborhood during the 20th century as Geneva expanded. It kept its ties to farming despite the modern growth around it.

The French-speaking residents of Lully, known as Aquariens, blend rural farming heritage with suburban life in Geneva Canton. You can see this mix reflected in how the village uses its land and spaces.

The village connects easily to Geneva's public transportation system through regular bus routes that reach main destinations. Local roads link it directly to nearby communities and central Geneva for car travel.

After severe flooding in 2002, local authorities redesigned the drainage systems with methods that became a model for flood control in similar areas. You can observe how the village adapted its infrastructure to handle water runoff.
