Life on the Right Bank of Lake Geneva
Feel like you’re on vacation
Attracted to its incredibly pleasant quality of life, just 10 km from the sparkling city of Geneva, families especially enjoy the beautiful towns of Versoix, Genthod, and Bellevue. Between green forests and the blue Lake Geneva, you’ll find large and extraordinary properties hidden behind high gates. Industrialists, entrepreneurs, and large families have made the discerning choice to live peacefully and safely in these beautiful communes in the canton of Geneva, at the edge of the canton of Vaud. Ideally located near Geneva International Airport, Versoix and its surroundings are often considered prime locales to acquire real estate, especially when considering the inconveniences of Pont du Mont-Blanc traffic - which is a non factor in these parts. This is very important point for Genevans, as well as travelers who have come by air also prefer this side of the lake.
The lives of the people of Bellevue, Versoix, Genthod are envied because they live year round where others dream of vacationing. Terraces and balconies bloom with beautiful flower arrangements, boats are docked at the port or departing for the sea, CGN ships offer access to various coastal cities for those who fancy a spontaneous getaway or for those who simply prefer to go to the office by boat (a little less exciting, but better than the subway).
Athletes and strollers alike take to the lakeside trails. You’ll find welcoming vendors, colorful and appetizing markets, and delicious restaurants on display. A little tip: Lunches at Restaurant du Creux-de-Genthod are always memorable. Children play petanque or entertain themselves on the beach while the parents order the lake’s catch of the day of the lake and discuss important topics, like world peace.
A property in the area of Versoix is for you, if...
- Vacation or work, nothing has to change
- Commuting on the water is your dream
- For you, leisure takes many forms, but it’s nice to have them all in 1 place
Countryside or Lake
Two different lifestyles but all the same attractive: a luxury apartment by the lake, a townhouse overlooking the water, or a property in the countryside surrounded by woods. Imagine a large mansion on woody plot gently descending towards the lake, just like the home of the famous watchmaking manufacturer, who, passionate about orchids, planted a rare variety in his greenhouses on the shores of Lake Geneva. People come from all over Switzerland just to admire them.
To live in Versoix or its surroundings is to live in perfect harmony. It’s to enjoy a private, secure, and family-friendly lifestyle in the open air with your beloved pets - dogs, cats, ponies, donkeys, horses, rabbits, geese, ducks. Versoix also provides families with excellent public schools as well as prestigious private schools like “Le Collège du Léman,†welcoming students from all over the world to its boarding schools or to the very lucky ones who live in the vicinity of the commune. Large Swiss and families of foreign nationalities choose to live on the right bank of Lake Geneva for the sole reason of their children benefiting from these excellent academic institutions.
Its proximity to the canton of Vaud, which houses large multinational companies, is also an asset for economic life. Being on the border of the 2 cantons is a great advantage, one foot in Lausanne and the another in Geneva. For chocolate lovers, Versoix is a city just for you. The FestiChoc welcomes cocoa enthusiasts and gourmands from around the world. Particularly, 2 great chocolatiers have been established in the commune for over 150 years: the Cartier Chocolate Factory (sweet jewels) and the manufacturers of Favarger chocolate.
