A pathway through history, tales and streets A microcosm with a thousand facets, the Sardinian town reveals little by little its secrets: the name of a street which evokes a past full of history, a garden or a courtyard discovered by pushing a door, a temple with magnificent carved woodworks and frescos, newly restored.

A passion for tea Impossible not to stop and savour the bitter, perfumed waves seeping from this boutique. Mistress of ceremonies, Véronique Gallais, will help you discover the myriad facets of tea. Just as with wine, one admires the colour, inhales the aroma (after the leaves have been steeped in boiling water) and then tastes. 4000 years of history are there to delight the palate in sips of red, black, green, white or yellow.

The Amazon of Geneva: by foot or by boat |
|
 Plunge into the virgin forest, only two steps from the center of Geneva. Take the left bank of the Bois de la Bâtie, cross the bridges of la Jonction and Butin before following the river. From there, all kinds of encounters are possible: black kite, grey heron, ibex, warthog and many other species which will make you forget the closeness of the City. Wonderful half day hikes with a recommended detour to the reserve of Moulin-de-Vert. In case of fine weather, it's also possible to do the "descente du Rhône" by boat.
