Jet d'Eau is a magnificent fountain located in the city of Geneva, Switzerland. It is one of the most iconic landmarks of the city and is a popular tourist attraction. The fountain is situated in the middle of Lake Geneva and shoots water up to a height of 140 meters. The water is propelled at a speed of 200 km/h and is visible from almost every part of the city.
The Jet d'Eau was originally built in 1886 as a safety valve for a hydraulic power plant. It was later moved to its current location in 1891 and has since become a symbol of the city. The fountain operates all year round, but its schedule varies depending on the season. During the summer months, the fountain operates from early morning until late at night, while in the winter, it operates only during the day.
The Jet d'Eau is illuminated at night, creating a stunning visual display that can be seen from miles away. The fountain is also a popular spot for photographers, who capture its beauty from various angles. Visitors can get a closer look at the fountain by taking a boat tour or by walking along the promenade that runs along the lake.
Overall, the Jet d'Eau is a must-see attraction for anyone visiting Geneva. Its impressive height and stunning beauty make it a true wonder of engineering and a symbol of the city's rich history and culture.
