About this audio guide
This guide to Parc Mon Repos in Geneva follows the crew that in nineteen fifty-four turned a nineteenth-century lakeside villa into a makeshift television studio, in rooms once filled with literary guests like Hans Christian Andersen. You will hear who led them, how small and strange the operation really was, and what they improvised inside it before the whole enterprise outgrew the house. Best heard by the paddling pool, where children play today on the same lawn.
