Living in the countryside around Geneva

It is rare for a metropolis like Geneva to be so close to the surrounding countryside. It’s no coincidence that municipalities in the canton are often rewarded for preserving and improving the environment. Whether on the Rive Gauche or the Rive Droite, life in the countryside around Geneva offers the same landscape of small and perfectly maintained villages, filled with flowers and surrounded by forests, vineyards and fields. The locals enliven this calm and peaceful life all year round with festivals and cultural and sporting events.
