Jardin Anglais

About

The Jardin anglais (literally "English garden") is an urban park in Geneva, Switzerland, situated at the location of an ancient harbor and a wood. It marks the beginning of the Quai Gustave-Ador. The park was created in 1855.

In 1863 the building process of the Pont du Mont-Blanc changed the park to its actual form – a trapezoid of 25,430 m2 (273,700 sq ft). The park hosts the Le monument national and the L'horloge fleurie (or Flower clock), besides several pavilions, a sculpted bronze fountain by Alexis Andre, and a coffeehouse. It hosts the annual Geneva Christmas Market.
