Les Armures
Just a few paces from the gorgeous cathedral, Les Armures is perfectly located in the very heart of the Old Town. The building itself fits in well with its historic surroundings, with the current structure dating back to the 17th century, although it can trace its origins right back to the 13th. Over the course of the centuries, it has been owned by a number of counts, bishops and aristocratic families of Geneva and is now personally run by the Borgeat-Granges family.
