Rousseau Island
 

Description

The Île Rousseau is a peaceful and very green little islet between the left and right bank of the city. It is connected to the des Bergues bridge and it overlooks the Mont-Blanc Bridge. There are a number of benches and a miniature 18th Century-style pavilion that has since become a restaurant with a sunny terrace. The islet is named after Jean-Jacques Rousseau who was born in Geneva in 1712. In 1835, a statue was erected here in homage to the great philosopher.

A place to relax
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 7/24/07
If you are looking to relax and enjoy the sun one day, this is a good destination. It reminds you slightly of a public pool atmosphere, but if you need a day to not run around town it can be good. Great for kids to play in the water and be kids in the midst of an adult city.
