Reconstructed by the Tavel family after a 1334 fire, this historic mansion became a museum in 1986. Visitors can explore multiple levels featuring captivating exhibits, such as a guillotine and a detailed model of early Geneva. Its central location and welcoming, multilingual staff further enrich the visit.
