Attractions of the promenade
The largest attraction on the quay is the Jet d’eau, rising 140 metres into the air at the end of the Jetée des Eaux-Vives. Up to this point, the quay serves as a pleasure boating marina. It extends onto a long promenade under the shade of numerous plane trees. This leads to Baby-Plage, a small, free, sandy and pebble beach, and the very popular Genève-Plage, with its large pool and slides.
Events programme
For some years now, the City of Geneva has organised a series of events along the Quai Gustave-Ador. Called “Le Quai", this programme is part of the “Opération chaises longues”, or operation deckchairs. Opposite Parc La Grange, deckchairs are made available to the public throughout the summer. Different events are organised, including a series of free concerts.
Facilities
Numerous terraces are open along the quay during the warm weather.
Public toilets can be found in front of the Jardin anglais, opposite the Jet d'eau and Baby-Plage.
History of the quay
The Quai Gustave-Ador was built in 1856 in order to extend the lakeside promenade. Over the years, it has been extended and improved.
