About Lancy
Where to stay in Lancy
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Geneva keeps the hotel desks. Lancy is a municipality of the Canton of Geneva in its own right, and the record gives it churches, a chapel and sports venues rather than the accommodation a visitor would book directly. The Bois de la Bâtie draws the walkers.
A stay in Lancy suits anyone whose day runs to the Patinoire des Vernets, the Centre sportif de la Queue d'Arve or Église Saint-Marc rather than to central Geneva.
About Lancy
What are the main landmarks in Lancy?
Ten entries, and most of them are buildings. Église Saint-Marc, Notre-Dame des Grâces church, Trinity church and the Chapelle du Petit-Lancy give Lancy four places of worship on the record, with the salle du Conseil municipal and the Rochette house standing beside them. Sport takes the rest. The Patinoire des Vernets and the Centre sportif de la Queue d'Arve are the two sports venues listed, and the Bois de la Bâtie and Saint-Georges close out a list of ten.
What is the history of Lancy?
Its status is the fact on record. Lancy is a municipality of the Canton of Geneva rather than a quarter carved out of the city, which is why the entry gives it a salle du Conseil municipal of its own alongside the churches. The entry carries no date.
What the list preserves instead is fabric: the Rochette house, the Chapelle du Petit-Lancy, Église Saint-Marc and Notre-Dame des Grâces church stand in for the years the record does not give.
Where is Lancy?
