Parc Mon Repos, Public park in Geneva, Switzerland

Parc Mon Repos is a public garden on the right bank of Lake Geneva, in Geneva, Switzerland. It belongs to a chain of adjoining parks — Moynier, Perle-du-Lac, Barton and William Rappard — that continues the Pâquis district along the shore. The Plantamour family gave the grounds to the city in 1898, and it became the first public park on the lakefront.

The Plantamour family gave the land to Geneva in 1898, establishing the first public park on the lakeshore. This donation marked a turning point in making green spaces available to the public.

The park's name, Mon Repos, means "my rest" in French. Since 1898 it has belonged to the city, and every 11 November an official ceremony commemorating the 1918 Armistice is held here, a tradition visitors may encounter in autumn.

Parc Mon Repos sits on the right bank of Lake Geneva, continuing the Pâquis district and forming a chain with Parc Moynier, Perle-du-Lac, Parc Barton and Parc William Rappard, so it can be crossed on foot from one to the next. The grounds are level and the paths are paved, making the park accessible to wheelchairs and strollers. The Armistice ceremony on 11 November draws a crowd, so plan around it if you want the lawns to yourself.

Mon Repos was the first public park on the shore of Lake Geneva, given to the city by the Plantamour family in 1898. It now forms a chain of adjoining lakeside parks with Moynier, Perle-du-Lac, Barton and William Rappard, continuing the Pâquis district along the right bank.
