Carouge, the Sardinian town.

A town laid out in the eighteenth century under the Kingdom of Sardinia, dense and lively, just south of Geneva and separated from it by the Arve.

Carouge stands out for its origins. The town was laid out in the eighteenth century under the Kingdom of Sardinia, on a regular plan inherited from Piedmontese architects. It is known as the Sardinian town, and this can still be read in the layout of the streets, the low houses and the courtyards of the old centre. The result is an urban municipality, dense and lively, set just south of the city of Geneva. Life revolves around the Place du Marché and its shopping streets: craftspeople, workshops, cafés and a regular market that sets the rhythm of the week. The building stock is marked by its historic buildings, often converted into apartments under condominium ownership (PPE). PPE accounts for a large share of residential transactions, alongside investment buildings sold as a single block. Detached houses remain a minority in this urban context.

Way of life

The market square, shopping streets, craftspeople and cafés: Carouge is a place where people get around on foot, where local shops remain plentiful and where Plainpalais and the centre are a few minutes away.
