B. How to get there
By public transit:
From the train station (Cornavin), take Tram number 15 (direction: "Palettes") and get out at "Industrielle" (about 7 stops). The whole ride takes about
15 minutes.
By car:
- Take the highway to Geneva
From the only real highway surrounding Geneva (A1/E21), take the ramp Genève-Centre/La Praille/Carouge
- This is the first fork/ramp after the Bardonnex border coming from Lyons,
- This is the last fork before the Bardonnex border coming from Lausanne (drive all around
Geneva !)
- If you come from Italy: When still in France follow the signs
for Geneva Airport, and the Bardonnex border entry, then like the others.
- Once you are on the Expressway to Genève-Centre/La Praille/Carouge, take the third exit (wake up after 3 tunnels) and exit "Acacias" / Genève-Centre,
- Park your car in Parking "Etoile" right after the exit and walk 5 minutes according to the maps page or google map (forget about finding "street parking".
by TAXI: Tell them to take you to "Rond Point des Noirettes".
You can trust them, but they are very expensive.
