Geneva's prominent iconic image is the Jet D'eau. It is a fountain with a 140-metre high water jet at the surface of Lake Geneva. You could see it from many places all over the city. The fountain was just a safety valve at a hydraulic factory. When it was transferred in 1891 to its current location now, it became a tourist attraction.
Many were in this park having picnic and chilling out on the grass. There were also some teens asking for survey which we had ignored.
Most of the establishments in Geneva such as large hotels, bars and restaurants are situated on the right-hand shore of Lake Geneva.

Geneva was our last stop in Switzerland. At the airport, we collected our luggage at the service center and proceeded to check in. Before we went inside the boarding area, we dropped the rented pocket wifi at the mail box inside the airport.
Our flight was delayed for two hours. We flew with the domestic plane of Air France. Nevertheless, the crew gave each of us 15euros worth of voucher that we could consume within the lounge of Air France at the Geneva Airport.
We arrived Paris at 11;30pm. The transfer we hired had been waiting for us and took us to our hotel in Paris.
