I would like to suggest a private visit to the famous Patek Philippe<br />
Museum – home to the prestigious creations of the Geneva-based<br />
master watchmakers, which was founded in 1839. Guests will discover<br />
an extraordinary display of watches, musical automata and portrait<br />
miniatures from the 16th to the 19th century. After the visit, guests may<br />
enjoy a guided walking tour around the old city, accompanied by an expert<br />
in the city’s history. A day trip to the traditional village of Gruyères, only 1.5<br />
hours from Geneva, is a must for enjoying traditional Swiss scenery and<br />
the chance to taste traditional cheese fondue. For the adventurous, why<br />
not take a helicopter flight above Mont Blanc? Wine lovers will enjoy a visit<br />
to one of the many vineyards outside Geneva to taste local varieties. And if<br />
the weather allows, we can organize a cruise on a private yacht – complete<br />
with lunch – so guests can explore more of the beautiful Lake Geneva.<br />
dining<br />
I recommend two restaurants where guests will definitely have a rewarding<br />
gastronomic experience:<br />
Auberge du Lion d’Or<br />
A Michelin-Starred restaurant that enjoys a spectacular view over the lake<br />
and mountains; an elegant dining room providing a ‘Zen’ contemporary<br />
spirit and a truly beautiful terrace. Savor French seasonal gastronomy at<br />
its best!<br />
Domaine de Châteauvieux<br />
This two-Michelin-Star restaurant belongs to the region’s most famous<br />
Chef – Philippe Chevrier. Part of a 16th-century hotel located in the<br />

Culture plays an important role in Geneva:<br />
opera, music and theater – in diverse forms<br />
but always of excellent quality – grace the<br />
city’s nightlife. The city’s ample charms also<br />
include glorious parks, a magnificent natural<br />
