Quai Wilson, Riverfront promenade in Geneva, Switzerland

The Quai Wilson extends along Lake Geneva's north shore, featuring a continuous pedestrian walkway lined with fifty systematically pruned sycamore trees.

Named after President Woodrow Wilson in 1926, this waterfront area housed the League of Nations headquarters from 1919 to 1936 in the former Hotel National.

The promenade maintains its status as a class B Swiss cultural property, connecting multiple exhibition spaces and the current United Nations Human Rights office.

The designated pathway system separates pedestrian areas from cycling lanes, with specific regulations preventing motor vehicles from accessing the recreational spaces.

The waterfront includes a dedicated swimming section on the right bank, offering direct lake access while maintaining views of the Jet d'Eau fountain.
