Le Jardin anglais est un jardin public situé au bord du lac Léman à Genève.Situé sur une parcelle gagnée sur le lac dès 1854, en face de l'Hôtel Métropole, en lieu et place des anciennes fortifications, il est le premier parc genevois aménagé sur le modèle des jardins à l'anglaise.
This cathedral, dedicated to Saint Peter and an iconic symbol of Geneva (which it overlooks from the hill of Veille-Ville) also symbolises the influence of Protestant Rome.A cathedral and religious community has been on the site of Saint-Pierre since the 4th century AD. Up until the 11th century, just a single building stood on the site. However, in the 12th century the first prince-bishop of Geneva, Arducius de Faucigny, began the construction of the cathedral we can see today. The work took about a century - from 1150 to 1250.
