Originally installed in 1886 as a safety valve for a hydraulic water system, the fountain has since become a beloved attraction and an enduring emblem of Geneva. At night, the fountain is beautifully illuminated, adding a magical touch to the cityscape.
The live webcam offers a real-time view of this marvel, allowing you to witness the interplay of water and light against the backdrop of the majestic Alps and the Jura Mountains. The shimmering waters of Lake Geneva, with boats gently passing by, complete the picture-perfect scene.
Geneva’s lakeside promenade, surrounding the Jet d’Eau, is a bustling hub of activity. Locals and tourists alike enjoy strolling along the shore, visiting nearby parks, and admiring the city’s blend of historical and modern architecture. The fountain often serves as a focal point for celebrations, events, and even quiet moments of reflection.
