A bit of history

Once made up of vast fields that stretched to the lake, Pâquis Sécheron has gradually attracted luxury hotels, cabarets and artists.

Pâquis was originally outside the city walls, in the former municipality of Petit-Saconnex.

The term "Pâquis" recalls the old function of the neighborhood, where cattle grazed. The word "pâquis" refers to the place where game comes to feed, and, by extension, all pastures.
