“I went on an outing with my friends which I thought was ‘awesome’! To sum up: keep going, more please!”
Immerse yourself in the world of street art!
Enjoy this gentle artistic, gourmet trip in the heart of our beautiful cross-border region!
#By bike
Collect your bike at 10.00 am with Bruno from Geneva Cycling in Annemasse and gear up before heading off to Geneva.
Head for the Grand Genève greenway to reach the Plage des Eaux Vives. This is a route reserved for green modes of transport between Annemasse and Geneva.
You can travel at your own pace, be that in ‘chill’ mode or something more energetic. Don’t forget to look up from your handlebars. Not too far ahead, Le Salève rises up before you, with the Jura mountains in the distance.
Lake Geneva comes into view. It’s time to get out the picnic. Your stomach must be grumbling! Have you remembered to bring a blanket? You can settle down beside the lake or beside the park – the choice is yours.
Once the meal is over, you’ll even have time for a dip or a nap in the soft sunshine. Can you hear the gentle sound of the famous water jet in the distance?
#Street art
Having lazed about, it’s now time to get back in the saddle and reach the starting point of the walk. We have a little surprise waiting for you!
Did you know that street art is very much in evidence in Geneva?
Let’s explore paths, bridges and other hidden places in the city, from the alternative district of Les Grottes to the banks of the Rhône and Arve rivers.
Let’s go and see them together with ‘Genève par cher’. Find out about their history and try and decipher the meaning behind the graffiti and mural paintings decorating walls in the city. It’s really unexpected, isn’t it?
To continue the walk, now head for the terraces on the Le Seujet buildings. A superb panoramic view over the Rhône and the city roofs stretches out before you!
The day isn’t over, but it’s time to return to Annemasse. Return your bike, Bruno is waiting for you in the square. Are you ready for what’s next?
#Exoticism
From the station square, walk along the voieVerte towards Ambilly to reach the Au petit Macchu Picchu restaurant. Here, a change of scenery is guaranteed. The owners will welcome you as if you were at home. Two true enthusiasts who will take you on a culinary journey to Peru.
As soon as you’ve settled in, with the menu already in your hands, it’s time to awaken your senses! Ceviche, empanadas, guacamole… Let the colourful dishes and spicy flavours transport your taste buds to South America!
Enjoy the must-try dishes, or opt for the lesser-known but just as tasty dishes from the Chef. Hm, a delight!
The day is coming to an end. It has been full of discovery on both sides of the border and you’ve experienced a colourful and flavourful world.
See you soon for your next trip!
