About this audio guide
This guide to Bois de la Bâtie in Geneva starts from a single contradiction: the high ground at the park's center is not natural hillside. It traces the nineteenth-century engineering built into this clifftop above the Arve, and the problem growing Geneva needed it to solve. Best heard standing at the wooded knoll near the park's middle, looking out toward the river below.
