Geneva

— Journey —

1 h 45 from Lyon

Geneva sits at the western tip of its lake, the discreet capital of private banking, watchmaking and international diplomacy. Under two hours from Lyon, FFGR Lyon crosses the border to deliver patrons to the Beau-Rivage, the Four Seasons des Bergues, or the watch ateliers of the Rue du Rhône — Patek Philippe, Vacheron, Rolex. The city is the gateway to the Alps for jet arrivals, with Megève, Verbier and Courchevel all within a chauffeured radius. Geneva's appeal is restraint itself: the Jet d'Eau, the old town around Saint-Pierre, the lakeside promenades, and a concentration of UHNW wealth that prefers to be neither seen nor heard.
