Montbenon Esplanade

This site is one of the most beautiful balconies from which to view the lake. Here you will find a statue of a legendary Helvetian William Tell

You pass from a shady promenade via banks bedecked in flowers, to an enchanting setting around a romantic fountain. If you want to feel the beating pulse of a contented city while enjoying magnificent views, this is the place to come!
Two regal buildings are the crowning glory of this esplanade: the Casino de Montbenon, famous as the home of the Swiss Film Archive, and the impressive Renaissance-style Palais de Justice.
