    La Clémence

    Start with a drink at La Clémence. It is a cozy bar that opens early and stays open late. On warm evenings, the terrace is packed, but it is a perfect place to settle in before the walk begins.

    Jardin Anglais

    Walk to Jardin Anglais. This park sits on the bank of Lake Geneva, just across the Mont Blanc bridge. It is the ideal spot to watch the sun go down over the water. In summer, the park often hosts concerts or funfairs, adding to the lively atmosphere.

    Jardin Anglais

    Stay at Jardin Anglais for the sunset. The view across the lake is the highlight of the evening. Take a moment to look at the flower decorated clock at the southwestern edge of the park before the light fades completely.

    La Clémence

    Return to La Clémence for a nightcap. Since it is open until midnight every day, it is a reliable place to end the evening with a drink in the heart of the old town.

Local tip

La Clémence expands its seating significantly from April to October, so arriving early ensures you get a spot on the terrace.
