Parc La Grange is Geneva's largest park, spanning 12,000 square meters on the Left Bank of Lake Geneva. It features an internationally renowned rose garden containing over 200 varieties and 10,000 rose bushes. The grounds include two historic 18th-century villas, La Grange and Le Grange, alongside an ancient Roman villa site. A central feature is the 18th-century Orangerie, often used for public cultural exhibitions. The park is home to a collection of centuries-old trees, including massive cedar and sequoia specimens. A shaded outdoor theater, Théâtre de l'Orangerie, hosts seasonal performances within the park boundaries. The site is maintained by the City of Geneva and serves as a public space for both leisure and botanical appreciation.
