Activities for children in Lancy
Between the Rhône and the Aire, Lancy unfolds its two faces — Grand-Lancy and Petit-Lancy — on the heights to the southwest of Geneva. The municipality has managed to preserve rural corners, generous parks, and even a farm, while offering families modern recreational facilities.
It is this dual personality that makes Lancy interesting for a day out with children: in the morning at the farm among the animals, in the afternoon at the trampoline or the swimming pool, and in the evening at the cinema. All of this is easily accessible by tram or car from anywhere in the canton.
