About this audio guide
This guide to the park in Geneva centers on Louis Favre, the engineer who bought this riverside estate in eighteen sixty-six and later took on the era's most ambitious tunnel contract. It follows the ruinous terms he signed, the workers who built it, and the tensions that boiled over at his worksite in the eighteen seventies. Best heard on the terrace by the old manor house, in the shade where his restaurant now stands.
