Right on a great walk along the water across the world!

I have always wanted to visit Geneva and this is probably the first virtual tour I have taken. I wonder what the purpose of the fountain is other than as an ornament. I was wondering why you would want to shoot salt water 140 feet in the air then you mentioned it is a river so it might be fresh?

I haven't been there but I will some day!

Welcome, many thanks! Yes it is sweet water, the fountain was originally built as a safety valve for a hydraulic power station.
