Île Rousseau is a tiny island in the Rhône at the point where the river leaves Lake Geneva. Named after philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau, who was born in Geneva in 1712, it offers a tranquil escape in the city centre.
Formerly a defensive bastion, the island was landscaped in the 19th century and named after Rousseau, whose social contract philosophy influenced the French Revolution.
