Review:
The City of Geneva is suitably proud of the illustrious writer and philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau who was born in the city and spent a considerable part of his life there. To honor and celebrate him, a small island in the Rhone River was dedicated to his memory and now forms a lovely public park. You can easily reach the park on foot to spend a peaceful time enjoying outstanding views of the city while you have a drink or snack at the café or just relax under a shady tree. You will see a large bronze statue of Rousseau which was created by sculptor James Pradier and erected on the island in 1835.
Ile Rousseau (Rousseau Island), 1204 Geneva
