GENEVA CANTON
Jet d'eau, Geneva
webcam link
This livestream video webcam (pictured above) offers a breathtaking view of Geneva's harbor and Jet d'eau. This is my personal favorite and I often check it out to see which way the wind is blowing, how may people are walking on the walkway, and if there are CGN boats coming and going. Occasionally you will see a bird or a spider that gets in front of the lens.
It also provides the color significance projected on certain dates onto the Jet d'eau. MétéoSuisse provides a box presenting live temperatures of the air and lake water, wind speeds, the moon phases, and more.
And if you remember, you can actually see the Jet d'eau turn on every morning at 9h in summer (and 10h the rest of the year) via the webcam. In the evening, depending on the season, it shuts off between 22h30 and 23h15.
