    Olympic Museum

    Walk to the sculpture garden at the Olympic Museum. The open space overlooks Lac Léman and offers a clear view of the sun dipping below the horizon toward the WSW. It is a quiet, public spot to watch the light fade.

    Café du Château

    Head to the Café du Château. Since the Brasserie opens at 17:00, you will arrive just in time to grab a ginger beer or a pizza. The service is counter-style, so order quickly before finding a seat.

    Bar Tabac

    End the night at Bar Tabac. This friendly café offers a calm climate and a huge selection of Belgian beers and French wines. It is a pleasant place to linger after the music has finished.
