18 Attractions with Audio Guides
Every stop comes with expert narration revealing history, hidden details, and stories most visitors never hear. Audio durations shown are approximate — actual length may vary slightly depending on your selected language.
STOP 01
Geneva Cornavin Station
Step into Geneva's historic gateway, rebuilt after a devastating 1909 fire into the station building, completed in 1931, that greets travellers today. Your audio guide traces the station's role as Geneva's rail gateway through two world wars. Discover original architectural details that survived decades of renovation, and hear how this transport hub helped cement Geneva's international identity long before the United Nations arrived. It's the perfect first chapter for a city built on the idea of neutral ground.
🚉 Historic Gateway🌍 Neutral Crossroads~18 min audio
STOP 02
Basilique Notre-Dame
Rising near the station, this Neo-Gothic basilica stands as Geneva's most significant Catholic church in a city historically shaped by Calvin's Reformation. Your audio guide reveals the story behind its 1852–1857 construction and its turbulent later years, when it was seized in 1875 and only bought back by the Catholic Church in 1911. Discover its 19th-century stained glass, and learn about the basilica's role as a sanctuary for Geneva's growing international community.
⛪ Neo-Gothic🕊️ Pilgrim Stop~17 min audio
STOP 03
Brunswick Monument
Towering along the lakeshore, this ornate mausoleum recreates Verona's famous Scaliger Tombs on Swiss soil. Your audio guide unpacks the eccentric life of Duke Charles II of Brunswick, German nobility who died in Geneva in 1873 and left his fortune to the city on the condition it build this flamboyant Italian-style memorial. Discover the carved details of the stone, and learn how the rest of the Duke's controversial bequest funded public buildings such as the Grand Théâtre, despite the initial outcry over his outsized memorial.
🏛️ Eccentric Bequest🌊 Lakeshore Landmark~19 min audio
STOP 04
Mont Blanc Bridge
Crossing the point where Lake Geneva narrows into the Rhône, this bridge, first opened in 1862, did far more than connect two banks — it became a defining link between the city's two halves. Your audio guide points out the exact viewpoints where Mont Blanc frames itself perfectly on a clear day, a vista that has drawn painters and photographers for generations. Time your visit right and the mountain seems to rise straight out of the water.
🏔️ Mont Blanc Views🌉 1862 Crossing~17 min audio
STOP 05
The Flower Clock
This living timepiece marries Geneva's horticultural pride with its world-famous watchmaking tradition. Your audio guide reveals the mechanics behind the 1955 creation — thousands of plants arranged around a working clock face with what is said to be the world's longest second hand, at 2.5 metres. Discover how gardeners redesign the seasonal planting each year and learn why this simple garden display became one of the most photographed spots in Switzerland, a small monument to precision in every sense of the word.
🌸 Living Timepiece⌚ Watchmaking Pride~18 min audio
STOP 06
Jardin Anglais
This lakeside garden sits on land reclaimed in 1854, part of Geneva's transformation from medieval fortress to open, cosmopolitan city. Your audio guide reveals how it became the city's first park laid out in the English style, with winding paths that were a deliberate break from formal French gardens. Discover the century-old trees tucked among the paths, including a ginkgo planted in 1863.
🌳 English-Style Garden🕊️ Century-Old Trees~17 min audio
STOP 07
Lake Geneva
More than a body of water, Lake Geneva has shaped regional identity for millennia. Your audio guide explains how this crescent-shaped alpine lake formed from glacial meltwater some 15,000 years ago, and describes the curious "seiches" — standing waves that cause the water level to rise and fall for no visible reason, a phenomenon first studied scientifically here by Swiss scientist François-Alphonse Forel. Discover how the interplay of light, mountain, and water has drawn writers and artists from Lord Byron to Charlie Chaplin, and find the exact vantage points where that magic is easiest to see.
🌊 Glacial Alpine Lake🎨 Artists' Inspiration~20 min audio
STOP 08
Jet d'Eau
Geneva's most iconic landmark began life in 1886 not as a spectacle but as a humble safety valve for the city's hydraulic power network. Your audio guide reveals the engineering behind a fountain that launches 500 litres of water 140 metres skyward every second — visible even from aircraft flying overhead at ten kilometres — and introduces the "guardians" who switch it off when the wind is too strong or temperatures drop too low. Learn the angle where sunlight turns the spray into a rainbow.
💧 Iconic Fountain⚙️ Industrial Origins~18 min audio
STOP 09
Parc La Grange
This aristocratic estate above the lake carries thousands of years of human presence, from Neolithic settlement through a Roman villa to the private domain of Geneva's influential Favre family. Your audio guide uncovers archaeological finds beneath the manicured lawns, including excavations in 1991–2000 that traced human presence here back to the Neolithic. Explore Geneva's finest rose garden, home to over 200 varieties, and learn about the 18th-century villa at its heart and how the estate became public parkland.
🌹 Rose Garden🏺 Roman Villa Remains~19 min audio
STOP 10
Cathédrale Saint-Pierre
Dominating the Old Town skyline, this is the pulpit from which John Calvin transformed both Geneva and Western Christianity during the 16th-century Reformation. Your audio guide takes you through architectural layers from Romanesque to Gothic, each telling a story of theological upheaval and political change. Discover the carved Romanesque and Gothic capitals, and hear about the archaeological excavations beneath the cathedral that uncovered mosaics from earlier churches dating to the 4th century.
⛪ Calvin's Pulpit🏺 4th-Century Mosaics~25 min audio
STOP 11
Chapel of the Maccabees
Tucked beside the cathedral, this Gothic chapel glows with stained glass that stands in flamboyant contrast to the austere Calvinist aesthetic that dominates the rest of Geneva. Your audio guide traces its history from 15th-century construction through a dramatic 1880s restoration, and reveals how it was stripped and used as a salt and munitions store after the Reformation. Discover the painted vaulted ceiling, and learn about its largely 19th-century stained glass.
🎨 Gothic Chapel🪟 19th-Century Stained Glass~17 min audio
STOP 12
Place Bourg-de-Four
Geneva's oldest square has served as its beating heart since Roman times, when it functioned as a marketplace and civic forum. Your audio guide points out architectural layers spanning centuries, with houses dating largely from the 16th to 18th centuries, each telling part of the city's story. Discover the 18th-century fountain at its centre and the Palais de Justice, home to the city's courts since 1860.
🏛️ Oldest Square⚖️ Palais de Justice~18 min audio
STOP 13
Reformation Wall
Stretching 100 metres along Parc des Bastions, this monumental wall commemorates the reformers whose ideas reshaped Western society far beyond theology. Your audio guide decodes symbolism most visitors miss, from the towering statues of Calvin, Knox, Farel, and Beza to the bas-reliefs carved alongside them. Discover the references to constitutional principles carved into the stone, such as the Mayflower Compact and the 1689 Declaration of Rights, tracing a line from Reformation thinking to modern democratic ideals, and learn about the international competition behind this monument, begun in 1909 and inaugurated in 1917.
🗿 100m Monument📜 Roots of Democracy~22 min audio
STOP 14
Parc des Bastions
Where defensive ramparts once stood, this leafy park now embodies Geneva's shift from fortified city to international capital of peace. Your audio guide traces its origins as a botanical garden in 1817 and its long life as home to the University of Geneva. Discover the giant outdoor chess boards, a much-loved local fixture.
♟️ Giant Chess Boards🕊️ University Park~19 min audio
STOP 15
Broken Chair Sculpture
Standing on three legs opposite the United Nations, this 12-metre wooden sculpture by artist Daniel Berset has become a global symbol of opposition to landmines and cluster munitions since 1997. Your audio guide reveals the story behind the Handicap International commission that turned co-founder Paul Vermeulen's idea into an internationally recognised statement, and how a sculpture meant to stand for just three months became a lasting fixture on this symbolic ground. Discover how the sculpture's broken leg is said to speak of survival, not defeat, and how it's been the backdrop for decades of humanitarian campaigns.
🪑 Humanitarian Icon🇺🇳 Opposite the UN~20 min audio
STOP 16
Conservatoire et Jardin Botaniques
Behind elegant iron gates near the lakefront lies one of Europe's finest living plant collections, rooted in Augustin Pyramus de Candolle's 19th-century work that reshaped how the world classifies plants. Your audio guide reveals the garden's role as a centre of botanical research, home to a herbarium of some six million specimens. Discover the rock garden of alpine plants, and explore the small animal park where deer live alongside rare breeds of domestic animals.
🌿 Botanical Garden🦌 Animal Park~18 min audio
STOP 17
Parc La Perle du Lac
Terraced gardens cascade down to the water here, and the park owes its poetic name to the wife of banker François Bartholoni, who nicknamed the estate "the Pearl of the Lake". Your audio guide tells the story of how the estate passed to the League of Nations in 1926 and opened to the public in 1929. Discover the 19th-century Villa Bartholoni at its heart, now home to the History of Science Museum, and find the century-old plane trees and hidden fountains that photographers guard as Geneva's finest secret views.
🌅 Lakefront Terraces🏛️ Historic Villa~17 min audio
STOP 18
International Red Cross & Red Crescent Museum
Set into the hillside beside the UN campus, this museum tells the story of Henry Dunant, a Geneva businessman who witnessed the horror of the Battle of Solferino in 1859 and went home to write the book that founded the world's largest humanitarian movement. Your audio guide moves through immersive galleries carrying the voices of those the organisation has protected, from World War I prisoners to modern refugees. Discover the archive of some six million prisoner-of-war index cards from World War I, now on UNESCO's Memory of the World Register, and learn why Geneva's neutrality made it a natural home for an organisation working around the world.

Geneva Travel Tips
Insider advice to make the most of your Geneva visit.
🏔️
Best Time to Visit
Late spring and early autumn bring the clearest Mont Blanc views and mild weather. Summer is busiest around the lakefront; visit the Reformation Wall and Old Town early morning to beat the crowds.
🚋
Getting Around
Geneva's Old Town and lakefront are compact. Hotel guests receive a free transport card covering trams, buses, and lake boats — ask for it at check-in and use it for the longer hops.
💶
Money & Costs
Geneva is one of Europe's most expensive cities — cards are accepted almost everywhere. A Swiss Museum Pass is worth it if you're visiting the Red Cross Museum plus two or more others.
🌧️
Weather & Packing
Bring layers and a waterproof jacket year-round — lake weather shifts quickly. Comfortable shoes matter for the cobblestones around Place Bourg-de-Four and the Cathédrale.
🤝
Local Etiquette
Greet shopkeepers with "Bonjour" before asking anything — it's expected, not optional. Geneva is formal and quiet in public; keep voices low in the Old Town and near diplomatic buildings.
🧀
Food & Drink
Try fondue and Swiss chocolate, and don't skip a lakeside picnic — tap water is excellent and free to refill. Old Town cafés near Bourg-de-Four are a good, less touristy option for lunch.

Store owner replied:
The points raised in this review do not reflect a fault in the tour. Each one is answered by what is stated in the product listing above.
“Far too long.” Each attraction in this tour carries around 20 minutes of narration, and that length is stated in the listing. It is a deliberate design choice. The tour gives full historical, architectural and cultural context for every site rather than a short highlights summary. The extended format is the product as described and sold, not padding.
“Lots of inane babble.” The narration is written as a relaxed, conversational account rather than a lecture or a list of figures. This is also intentional. The tour is built for travellers who want to understand the places they visit and be guided through them at their own pace, not to read a data sheet for each attraction.
“Not much factual detail.” Every Uvamai guide is fact-checked and verified across multiple sources before release. The narration covers names, dates, architecture and history for each attraction. The review does not identify any specific attraction, missing fact, or factual error, so there is nothing concrete to verify against the content.
“Wish I could get my money back.” All purchases are non-refundable and non-cancellable, and this is stated clearly before purchase. Format, length per attraction, delivery method and refund terms are all set out in the listing in full before checkout.
This review appears directly on our own product page, alongside the full listing above — so this detail is included here for anyone reading it in that same place. We’d encourage every visitor to read the full listing above before purchasing.
We were a group of four friends with wildly different interests exploring Geneva together. The beauty of this audio tour is that it gave all of us something — the history around Patek Philippe Museum satisfied the history lovers, the architectural insights at Old Town delighted our design-obsessed friend, and the cultural observations woven throughout kept everyone engaged. We couldn't have achieved this level of satisfaction with any single guided tour.
Travelling with three young children in Geneva means our needs change minute to minute. This audio tour was a lifesaver — we could listen at our own pace, take ice-cream breaks, double back when something caught the kids' attention, and resume exactly where we left off. The family-friendly storytelling around Lake Geneva kept even our youngest engaged, and the historical context at St. Pierre Cathedral sparked a brilliant discussion during dinner. Will use again!
As a solo traveller exploring Geneva on a tight schedule, I was initially sceptical about audio tours. This completely changed my mind. The narration at CERN alone was worth the entire purchase price, and the contextual storytelling around Jardin Anglais helped me see connections between different eras of the city's history that I wouldn't have noticed alone. Setting it up took seconds and worked perfectly on my phone throughout the whole day.
Visited Geneva with my elderly father who struggles with crowds and can't keep pace with group tours. This format was ideal — we could stop whenever he needed rest, repeat sections he found particularly interesting, and skip ahead when he was ready to move on. The content at Jardin Anglais delighted him — he has a lifelong interest in that area of history, and the audio guide exceeded his high expectations. The Palais des Nations section was equally strong. Deeply grateful for this resource.
Booked this on the day of our visit to Geneva — I was initially sceptical about getting everything set up quickly enough, but within minutes we were ready to go. The section on Bains des Pâquis was the highlight — I've never understood the full significance of that site before, and the audio narrative completely changed my perspective. The Lake Geneva content was equally strong. Instant delivery, no fuss, fantastic quality. Ideal for spontaneous explorers.
As someone who travels frequently for business and rarely has time for traditional tourism, I've started downloading Uvamai guides for every city I visit. The Geneva guide gave me a three-hour window to cover CERN and Patek Philippe Museum in a way that felt genuinely enriching rather than rushed. The information density is high but never overwhelming, and the ability to listen on the move means I can learn while I walk. Perfect for the busy modern traveller.
I purchased this in the week before my trip and listened to the first sections at home to get familiar with Geneva's history. That advance listening made the actual visit to Jardin Anglais incredibly rewarding — everything I saw had context I'd absorbed beforehand. The Patek Philippe Museum content was equally good in situ, with details that only made sense while standing in the actual location. Smart, layered, genuinely useful travel preparation.
Used this on a rainy afternoon in Geneva when outdoor plans fell through. The audio guide completely rescued what could have been a wasted day. We focused on indoor attractions including Patek Philippe Museum and CERN, and the guide provided enough material to keep us absorbed for the entire afternoon. The ability to download and use offline meant we had no connectivity worries. Flexible, resilient, perfect for unpredictable weather — a genuinely practical travel tool.
First time visiting Geneva and I was slightly overwhelmed before starting the tour. By the end of the first thirty minutes, everything had clicked into place. The way the guide contextualises the relationship between CERN and Jardin Anglais creates a coherent narrative framework that makes the whole city more legible. I felt I understood what I was looking at, not just what it was called. Genuinely transformative approach to city exploration.
We'd been wanting to visit Geneva for years, and when we finally arrived, this audio tour made it everything we'd dreamed of. The section covering Jardin Anglais was particularly impressive — the narrator explained the layers of history in ways we'd never read in any guidebook. By the time we reached Flower Clock, we felt like we actually understood the place rather than just photographing it. Highly recommend to anyone who wants substance over surfaces.
Our retirement trip to Geneva was made infinitely richer by this audio guide. We're not as mobile as we once were, but the flexibility of the format meant we could spend extended time at our favourite sites without feeling pressured to rush. The content at Patek Philippe Museum was so good we listened through it twice, and the information about St. Pierre Cathedral sparked memories of reading about it decades ago — only now we truly understood it. Perfect for unhurried explorers.
I normally find audio tours robotic and dry. This was completely different. The narrator's enthusiasm for Geneva is infectious, and the storytelling approach makes even complex historical context feel natural and memorable. By the time we reached Lake Geneva, we were fully absorbed — not passively listening but actively engaged. The CERN material maintained that energy perfectly. Uvamai has cracked the formula for making audio tours genuinely enjoyable.
As someone with a disability who sometimes needs to move at a slower pace, I was grateful for the complete flexibility this tour offered. I could sit, rest, replay sections, and continue at exactly my own pace through Geneva. The content around Palais des Nations was so rich I listened twice. The material at Old Town was equally rewarding the second time. Uvamai has genuinely made independent travel more accessible and I can't thank them enough.
I've done expensive walking tours in multiple cities and always found myself wishing I could pause, revisit, and absorb at my own rhythm. This audio tour finally delivers that. The content covering Old Town was better researched than most paid walking tours I've done, and the material at St. Pierre Cathedral had a narrative flow that kept us engaged for hours without any sense of being rushed. Travel should always feel this good.
Used this for a return visit to Geneva — I'd been before and thought I knew the highlights. The audio tour proved me completely wrong in the best possible way. The material on Bains des Pâquis covered angles I'd never considered, and the detailed historical narrative at Flower Clock reframed my entire understanding of the city's development. Even experienced travellers who think they've done Geneva will find fresh perspectives here.
Took this tour with my university study group visiting Geneva for a field course. The academic quality of the content genuinely surprised us — the material on Patek Philippe Museum was at least as rigorous as our course readings, and the Jardin Anglais section raised questions we're now exploring in our research. Our professor asked us where we'd sourced some of our observations. When we said an audio tour, he looked genuinely impressed. Outstanding scholarly depth.
My mother is in her seventies and was worried about keeping up with a group tour. This audio format was perfect — she could listen at her own pace, take breaks whenever she needed, and revisit sections that particularly moved her. The narration at Old Town brought her to tears because of how beautifully it captured the human stories behind the history. The Jardin Anglais content was equally moving and thoughtful. Thank you for making this kind of travel possible.
I've been to Geneva three times now, and this was my first visit with this audio guide. I genuinely discovered things I'd walked past on previous trips without understanding — the section on Patek Philippe Museum was a revelation, and the material covering Old Town made me wish I'd had this resource years ago. Even the most seasoned visitors will find that this guide reveals a Geneva they haven't yet encountered. Extraordinary level of research.
I was exploring Geneva alone, but this audio tour felt like having a knowledgeable friend guiding me through the city. I could take my time, never felt rushed, and still felt confident exploring with expert guidance. The hidden stories about Jet d'Eau and the insights at Palace of Nations were my favourite parts. Made my solo trip absolutely wonderful!
After reading dozens of contradictory recommendations online, I decided to rely entirely on this audio tour to navigate Geneva. Best travel decision I've made in years. The narrative structure is clever — it anticipates what you're likely to be standing in front of and delivers exactly the right information at exactly the right moment. The content at Jardin Anglais and Patek Philippe Museum was particularly precise and deeply satisfying. No app needed, no complex setup, just press play.
The range of topics covered in this tour impressed me from the start. Architecture, politics, social history, art, cuisine — everything is woven into the narrative as you move through Geneva. The section on Old Town covered several disciplines simultaneously, and the material at Patek Philippe Museum connected contemporary life to historical roots in ways that felt genuinely illuminating. This is the kind of travel education that stays with you long after you've left.
After doing rigid group tours in other cities, this self-guided Geneva audio tour was exactly what we needed. The narration was engaging and the flexibility to explore at our own pace was priceless. The Jet d'Eau audio really helped us understand the context, and the Lake Geneva guide revealed details we would have missed. Highly recommend for anyone who wants expert knowledge without group tour constraints!
My teenage son normally switches off during sightseeing, but something about the storytelling approach of this tour grabbed his attention from the start. By the time we reached Patek Philippe Museum he was asking questions and wanting to know more. The St. Pierre Cathedral section sparked a twenty-minute conversation between us that we're still talking about weeks later. That's the real value — it creates genuine engagement rather than passive observation.
Used this tour while visiting Geneva for a conference — I only had one free afternoon but wanted to make the most of it. The tour's structure allowed me to focus on Bains des Pâquis and Jet d'Eau without rushing through content irrelevant to my limited time. The audio quality was excellent, the information was dense but accessible, and I came away feeling like I'd genuinely understood rather than merely seen the city. Remarkable value for independent travellers with limited time.
Having visited Geneva several times over the years, we thought we knew the city well. This audio tour proved us wrong in the best way! We discovered new perspectives on Jet d'Eau, learned historical context we'd never known, and found hidden details in Old Town we'd walked past before. The fresh insights made us fall in love with Geneva all over again.
We had a guide recommend this tour and we initially thought $6 must mean basic content. We were completely wrong. The depth of knowledge around Jet d'Eau was extraordinary — specific dates, names, controversies, architectural decisions — all presented with genuine narrative skill. The Jardin Anglais content was equally layered and compelling. By the end of our visit to Geneva we felt we'd received the equivalent of a specialist university lecture series. Remarkable product.
As a photographer visiting Geneva, I needed a guide that would help me understand not just where to shoot but why each location matters. This audio tour delivered exactly that. The historical and cultural context around Palais des Nations completely changed my approach to photographing it, and the stories embedded in Patek Philippe Museum gave my images a narrative quality they wouldn't otherwise have had. An unexpectedly valuable creative resource.
Arrived in Geneva slightly overwhelmed by the scale of things to see. The audio tour immediately helped us prioritise and contextualise. The opening sections framing the city's historical arc were excellent, and by the time we reached Jet d'Eau, we had a mental map that made everything coherent. The narration at Flower Clock delivered detail that no signpost or pamphlet could match. Genuinely one of the most useful things we bought on this trip.
I've used audio tours in several cities, but this Geneva version stands out for its production quality. The narrator's voice was pleasant to listen to for hours, and the insider tips about Jet d'Eau really made us look at things differently. We covered most attractions over 4 days and felt like we got a complete Geneva education for less than the cost of a single half-day tour.
I blog about sustainable travel and I specifically appreciate that this tour delivers expert knowledge without requiring a car, a group, or excessive infrastructure. Exploring Geneva on foot with this guide, we covered Old Town and Flower Clock while moving entirely under our own power. The environmental footprint was minimal, the cultural depth was maximal, and the cost was negligible. This is what responsible tourism looks like — and it sounds great too.
I'm a first-generation immigrant from a family originally connected to this region, visiting Geneva to understand my heritage better. The depth of cultural and historical content in this tour — particularly around Palais des Nations — moved me deeply. The Patek Philippe Museum section gave me context for family stories I'd grown up hearing but never fully understood. This is so much more than a tourist product; it's a genuine window into a place's soul.
Visited Geneva as part of a longer European itinerary and chose this over a guided group tour. Best decision of the trip. The audio guide around Patek Philippe Museum revealed stories we'd read nothing about beforehand, and the detail provided on Old Town gave us context that made every subsequent stop richer. For $6 this is absurdly good value — I've paid thirty times that for group tours with a fraction of the insight.
I'll be honest — I usually find museums and historic sites overwhelming without guidance. But the Geneva audio tour explained everything in ways that made me genuinely care. Learning the backstory of Jet d'Eau and understanding what makes Lake Geneva so significant totally changed how I experienced Geneva. First time I've actually come away feeling like I truly understood a place I visited.
Our trip was hit with bad weather, but the flexibility of the audio tour meant we could dart between indoor and outdoor attractions and still learn everything we wanted. The Lake Geneva and Old Town guides were particularly excellent. Being able to pause and replay sections while actually observing the sites made such a difference — this turned a potentially disappointing trip into an amazing cultural experience.
As history enthusiasts, we were impressed by the depth and accuracy of the historical content. The audio guides connected different time periods beautifully and revealed fascinating details about Jet d'Eau and Old Town that we've never encountered in history books. Educational without being dry — the perfect balance for anyone who wants to truly understand Geneva.
The production quality of this tour sets it apart from others I've tried. The narrator's voice is clear, measured and genuinely engaging across hours of content. The section about Jardin Anglais felt like listening to a passionate expert rather than a scripted voiceover, and the nuanced storytelling at Flower Clock had my whole travel group pausing to discuss what we'd just heard. Worth downloading before you even arrive in Geneva.
As a retired schoolteacher who travels solo, I particularly valued how this guide structured information about Geneva. The content builds logically — you understand the context before arriving at each site. By the time I reached Old Town, I felt genuinely prepared to appreciate it fully. The audio at Patek Philippe Museum connected dots I hadn't previously linked, giving me a far richer overall picture. Ideal for curious, independent travellers of all ages.
We spent four days exploring Geneva with this audio guide and genuinely feel we saw the real city rather than the tourist version. The material on Jet d'Eau went several layers deeper than anything we'd encountered in travel writing, and the story woven around Lake Geneva made it our most-discussed site of the entire trip. The narrator's passion for the subject matter comes through clearly in every section. A remarkable travel companion.
We arrived in Geneva with very little pre-trip research done, which would usually mean missing the significance of most of what we saw. The audio guide completely compensated for that. By the time we reached Old Town, I had enough background context to ask informed questions and really appreciate what I was looking at. The section on Jardin Anglais opened my eyes to aspects of the city I'd never have discovered from a standard walking tour.
