“A bridge made of what?” you might ask. The Pont d’Aigues-Vertes, right before your eyes, isn’t named for any fancy material. Its name, “Green Water Bridge,” speaks to a time when the waters of the Rhone River here ran a vibrant green. Imagine that spectacle! Today, the Pont d’Aigues-Vertes stands as a testament to Geneva’s constant evolution.

As you cross the Pont d’Aigues-Vertes, think of the countless lives and stories that have passed this way before. This bridge is more than just steel and concrete; it’s a thread in the ever-unfolding story of Geneva.
