Jardin Botanique

Fodor's Review:

Sixty-nine peaceful acres of winding paths and streams, mountain views, and Alpine rock gardens bear witness to Geneva's early-19th-century fascination with botany. They also include tropical and Mediterranean hothouses, beds of irises, classic rose gardens, an aviary, a deer park, a garden of scent and touch, a living catalog of economically useful and medicinal plants, a seed bank, and a formidable research institute. Several of the trees predate 1700.
