Geneva Jet d'eau

The Great Fountain is located on Lake Geneva near the English Garden and is one of Geneva's representative landscapes. The big fountain is like a water column spewed by a whale. It is more than 100 meters high and has a large amount of water. Its spectacular scene can be seen from a long distance from the city center. At night, there is also a chance to see the big fountain under the lighting, which is even more spectacular. It is said that the Great Fountain was originally just a drain for a Geneva workshop. With the rise of tourism, the Geneva city government decided to move the fountain to its current location and refit the fountain with a new electric pump. The symbol of Geneva.
