Wanderroute : sur les pas des Huguenots

Ein Lyoner Restaurant vor den Toren von Genf. Das Team des Café du Rhone heißt Sie jeden Mittag in der Woche willkommen. Gégé und sein Gehilfe Guillaume unterstützen tatkräftig Jean-Marc, den Kopf und Chef dieses authentischen kleinen Restaurants.

In 1815, Geneva was a member of the Swiss Confederation and was surrounded by the kingdoms of Piedmont-Sardinia and France. In 1860, Savoie was annexed to France.Along the border, we can still discover the border marker no. 1 which marks the western-most point of Switzerland . Lavishly carved and dating from 1816, it faces the eagle with outspread wings of the kingdom of Sardinia, on the Genevois coat of arms. It is a milestone on the old path leading from Chancy to Vuache, highly frequented in the 17th and 18th centuries and now fallen into disuse. A bit further on, 3 wooden staircases allow the coastal path to cross the 3 successive levels of submerging into the Rhône (terraces) carved in the fluvio-glacial alluviums.
