This jewelry store sits in a neighborhood named for pastures – which is fitting, since matters of the heart have always flourished here. Pâquis takes its name from “pâturage,” the meadows where cattle once grazed outside Geneva’s city walls. By the mid-1800s, luxury hotels lined the lakeside while the interior streets became a working-class quarter where passion operated on a more transactional basis, so to speak. Geneva’s official red-light district now shares sidewalks with dozens of nationalities and a cornucopia of shops & restaurants in the city’s most diverse neighborhood. You’ll find gifts and jewels at this turquoise-tiled bijouterie on Rue des Pâquis – where love, in one form or another, has always been the local specialty.
