    The Jet d'eau fountain - which shouldn't be one
    With its 140 m height, the Jet d'Eau has become a real symbol of Geneva over time. History has it that the famous Geneva fountain is practically a product of chance.


    In 1886, the hydroelectric power station that brought the energy of the Rhone to Geneva's craftsmen and watchmakers was forced to release the excess water pressure into the open air when the workshops closed in the evening. The place sparked so much enthusiasm and enthusiasm that the Jet d'Eau saw the light of day.
