 | | As well as the nearest high mountain to Geneva, Mont Salève, which is a perfect place for sunshine when the lake is foggy, the Rive Gauche village of Cologny is worth a jaunt, both for its atmosphere and ease of access. |
 | | The first of these, COLOGNY, some 6km northeast of Geneva, has long been known as an exclusive and somewhat refined suburb, and the difference from Geneva is striking, with country lanes weaving between fields and open woods, and many large detached houses set back behind walls. |
 | | Cologny also has an esoteric museum attraction, the Bibliotheca Bodmeriana, at 19 Route de Guignard next to the bus stop (Thurs 2–6pm, also first Tues in month 6–8pm; Fr.5). |
