68 | Ženeva » Geneva 8 9 ŽENEVA / GENEVA JARDINANGLAIS It was in 1854, when the city’s waterfront was being spruced up, that an Englishstyle garden was plotted on reclaimed land to the north of the Old Town. This garden took the place of an old wooden harbour and was enhanced a few years later, in 1862, when Mont Blanc Bridge was completed on the west side. The garden’s centrepiece attraction is a fountain that was cast at a foundry in Val d’Osne, France, in 1862. The park’s curving lanes radiate out from this monument, reaching the promenade where you can take a photo of the Jet d’Eau and contemplate with views of the lake. CAROUGE As we see it today, the municipality of Carouge is the product of a wave of construction that was initiated by the King of Sardinia in 1786. The townscape was modelled on Nice, which was also Italian at the time, and the Italian accent endures in its palazzos, the Baroque Holy Cross Church and rows of painted townhouses with wooden shutters. It comes as no surprise that Carouge is often dubbed “La Cité Sarde”, the Sardinian City. With a leisurely ambience, Carouge is rich in handicraft shops, vintage boutiques and antiques dealers, while a market operates on Wednesdays and Saturdays at the Place de Marché. Engleska bašta Kada se 1854. godine uređivala obala, severno od Starog grada ucrtana je bašta u engleskom stilu. Ona je zauzela mesto stare luke, a unapređena je i dorađena nekoliko godina kasnije, kada je Pont du Mont du Mont-Blanc dovršen na zapadnoj strani 1862, kada je u centralni deo bašte stigla fontana izlivena u Francuskoj. Vijugave staze parka kao zraci kreću odatle, a vi svakako prošetajte do promenade, gde možete da dobijete sjajnu fotografiju gejzira i jezera. Carouge Kako danas možemo vidimo, Carouge je proizvod talasa gradnje koji je pokrenuo kralj Sardinije 1786. Gradski pejzaž napravljen je po uzoru na Nicu, koja je tada takođe bila italijanska, a uticaj Italije nastavio je da traje u palatama, baroknoj crkvi Svetog krsta i redovima oslikanih gradskih kuca sa drvenim kapcima. Nije zato neobično što se Carouge često naziva La Cite Sarde ili gradomSardinije. U opuštenom ambijentu, Carouge obiluje zanatskim radnjama, vintidž buticima, antikvarnicama, a tu je i pijaca na Place de Marcheon, koja radi sredom i subotom i nikako je ne treba propustiti.
