The Promenade de la Treille is home to the longest wooden bench in the world. At just over 120 metres, it runs along the edge of Geneva's old town, overlooking the Parc des Bastions and the 100-metre Reformation Wall below. Every mountain visible from here is, as it turns out, in France.

Stendhal was among the writers who praised the view. Every New Year's Eve, cannon shots ring out from here at 8 a.m. to mark the anniversary of Geneva's liberation from Napoleon. A local watchmaker once recorded the occupation's exact duration: fourteen years, nine months, fourteen days, ten hours and twenty minutes.

VoiceMap's self-guided audio tours use La Treille to stitch together Geneva's larger story, from Calvinist reform and Napoleonic occupation to the extraordinary cluster of scientific discovery visible from this single bench.
