Genève et ses places, a recent book by Cyrille Wohlschlag, was published in December 2024. We asked 180º éditions about their latest publication and they have offered one copy to one of our readers in the competition below!
Not only is the book of 112 pages extremely picturesque, but you will find out about the historic value of each of these 57 places in Geneva!
Right away, let's set the scene! If you can't stand still, if you can't stand standing still, if you like to wander from square to square, then this book is for you.
As you can see, this book takes you on a voyage of discovery through Geneva's squares, spiralling from the center to the periphery, from the city to the countryside.
So, ladies and gentlemen, take your seats! Place du marché, place de la gare, place de l'église, it's the center of the neighborhood, the place to meet, to socialize, to live.
A square is wherever there's space, it's the place to be. Sometimes they're called rond-point, esplanade, square, courtyard and, in Geneva, there's even a plateau, a perron and above all a plaine, as well as a rondeau, which is in Carouge.
