Conches, quiet villas.

Conches is a locality of the municipality of Chêne-Bougeries, on the Left Bank, on the south-eastern edge of the city of Geneva. It is not an official municipality: administratively, the area belongs to Chêne-Bougeries, alongside other localities such as Grange-Canal and La Gradelle. The area slopes down towards the Arve and is characterised by a quiet residential fabric, away from the main roads. The name is said to come from the estate known as Grand Conches, the origin of the names of the surrounding streets and lanes.

Way of life

Conches offers a green, settled residential setting, made up largely of villas and properties with gardens, extending the Chêne countryside towards the Arve. It stays quiet while being quickly connected to central Geneva via the Trois-Chênes. The nearby banks of the Arve and wooded areas give the neighbourhood a breathing space unusual for an area so close to the city.
