This enchanting place is located in the Grangettes nature reserve, on the shores of Lake Geneva. There you can admire the sculptures of Gérard Bonnet, photographer, educator and landscape poet, who used driftwood, rusty metal and recycled objects to create his own vision of paradise. You can also enjoy the view of the lake, birds and flowers, and feel the peace and creativity of this one-of-a-kind garden as you walk through it. The Jardin Instinctif Gérard Bonnet is open from April to October and entry is free.

Hiking

Beautiful oasis right on the lake. There are some shady spots by the water, as well as statues made from driftwood and recycled materials. There is also coffee, mint tea from the garden and a donation box for the owner and creator of the magic garden.
