Parc de Mon-Repos

The park stretches across multiple levels, featuring an orangerie, aviaries, neo-Gothic tower, caves, and underground passages at 510 meters elevation.

The land transformed from vineyards into a pleasure residence in the 18th century, where Voltaire performed plays in a dedicated theater.

The Federal Court of Switzerland maintains its headquarters within the park grounds, making decisions that shape national jurisprudence.

The grounds contain two playgrounds, public restrooms, a cafe, fish ponds, a swimming pool, and multiple walking paths through varied landscapes.

The park houses a collection of rare trees, including a giant sequoia near the outdoor theater and red beech at the lower entrance.
