BAINS DES PÂQUIS (PÂQUIS BATHS)
This is where the heart of Geneva beats, on the bay, all year round, between swimming, concerts, races and fondues.
If you want to get away from the clichés easily attributed to Geneva, stop off at the Bains! It's an institution, the very antithesis of a Geneva reduced to banks-big cars-chocolate. From the first wooden baths at the end of the 19th century, the Pâquis baths have retained a human touch. For Genevans, the Pâquis baths are a must. The dynamic association that runs it offers a plethora of activities throughout the year. You can swim in the lake, have lunch, enjoy a fondue, listen to a concert, practice yoga, visit an exhibition, take part in a writing workshop, see a film, swim under the full moon in winter, play games - tournaments are organized regularly - take a tai chi class, get a massage or visit one of the two saunas and hammams (towels compulsory). On Tuesdays, the hammam is reserved for women. An open-air solarium, accessible throughout the winter in fine weather, completes the offer. A team of professional masseurs and masseuses is on hand every day from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., by appointment, whatever the season: relaxation massages, muscle massages, reflexology, lymphatic drainage and shiatsu... the premises are a resounding success. A restaurant (on the terrace in summer and in a heated hut in winter) completes this space dedicated to relaxation and well-being. Les Bains des Pâquis offers a very special ambience, with a superb view of the harbour and the Jet d'eau.
