Parc de La Grange, Public park with neoclassical villa in Eaux-Vives, Switzerland.
The three-acre rose garden within Parc de La Grange contains more than 200 varieties of roses along gentle slopes leading to Lake Geneva.
Established in 1660, the park was donated to the City of Geneva in 1918 by William Favre, a politician and art collector.
The Théâtre de l'Orangerie, built in 1856 in Neo-Grec style, presents theatrical performances throughout summer months in the park grounds.
The park facilities include playgrounds, a children's water basin, beehives, public restrooms, and free WiFi access points for visitors.
Archaeologists discovered remains of a Roman settlement from 50-60 AD within the park grounds, alongside the 18th-century main villa.

Geneva offers a diverse heritage combining history, science, and nature on the shores of Lake Geneva. The city houses institutions such as the Palace of Nations and CERN, religious buildings like Saint Pierre Cathedral where Calvin preached, as well as cultural spaces like the Patek Philippe Museum dedicated to Swiss watchmaking. The Jet d'Eau, an emblematic fountain shooting water 140 meters high, marks the lake landscape. Visitors also explore the collections at the Natural History Museum, walk through botanical gardens housing alpine and tropical plants, or visit Maison Tavel, the oldest medieval house in the city. The Bains des Pâquis offer swimming and relaxation by the lake with views of Mont Blanc. This concentration of historic, scientific, and natural sites makes Geneva a comprehensive destination for discovering the Swiss Romand heritage.
