Last weekend we wanted to check out a few famous places in Geneva. Other locals don't go "because they don't want to look like tourists", but we think you should explore and enjoy where you live, right? We went to the Musée d'Art et d'Histoire and the Cathédrale St-Pierre . The museum was pretty good, but I recommend seeing it before you go to Paris! It had a lot of artifacts from the Middle East and a lot of antique guns, armour and knives (archeology, fine arts and applied arts). The Cathedral was beautiful and we went up 100 stairs to climb to the very top. Well worth it because the view of the entire city of Geneva was beautiful. A cathedral site has been there since the 12th century, but the building you see dates from the 16th century and reflects the style and philosophy of Calvinist times. This is definitely a place we will take visitors. Next weekend we are heading to Prague, so another posting will come soon thereafter. We love and miss everyone!
