The Jardin anglais (literally "English garden") is an urban park in Geneva, Switzerland, situated at the location of an ancient harbor and a wood. It marks the beginning of the Quai Gustave-Ador.

The park was created in 1855. In 1863 the building process of the Pont du Mont-Blanc changed the park to its actual form – a trapezoid/trapezium of 25430 m2.

The Park hosts the Le monument national and the L'horloge fleurie (or Flower clock), besides several pavilions, a sculpted bronze fountain by Alexis Andre and a coffeehouse.

    This a very pleasant park located next to Lake Geneva. The famous flower clock is here. It is very relaxing to walk here and there are lots of benches around for you to sit.  more »

    Close to Lake Geneva. Amazing place to visit, has few restaurants also near by. Can take boat tour also as port is very close by.
  • By John Wall
    Beautifull scenery and the fountain is amazing !! Only downside is the people here were incredibly rude and unwelcoming.
