Lonely Planet review for Jet d'Eau

Calling the Jet d'Eau a fountain is an understatement. The water shoots up with incredible force (200km/h, 1360HP), to create a 140m-high plume. At any one time there are seven tonnes of water in the air, and much of it falls on spectators who venture out on the pier.

    Doyel recommends this,

    This is a right in your face view. Anybody coming to Geneva, will reach Cornivin, the main station, and can walk towards the lake. After 3 blocks they will reach Lac Laman and Jet d'Eau is right in the middle of it, adjacent to the crossover bridge. One can often see a rainbow through the water sprays effusing out of the flow.
