Atmosphere Rousseau Island is a tranquil place to rest between sightseeing. Sit on a bench and enjoy the great view of central Geneva, the river, lake, and fountain. Especially beautiful with the night lights reflecting off the water.

The island is home to swans and ducks. The children can feed them breadcrumbs and enjoy the beauty. For safety purposes, there is no direct access to the river. One of the most attractive things about the island is that it is covered with gravel, not grass.
