ViaJacobi
Section 20 Genève–Genève (Grenze)

The city of Genève is followed by surprisingly lovely countryside on the way to the Swiss border. The Compesières fortress, seat of an Order of the Knights of St John until the French Revolution in 1798, is now a museum on the Maltese Order.

Diversion Genève due to construction work  
The construction of the Cornvin - Bernex tramline, lasting until 2011, will result in disruptions on the ViaJacobi (Cornavin railway station - Bel-Air). Negotiation of the section (see map) remains assured but signalization may be temporarily incomplete.
