Annemasse Mairie
Annemasse Mairie
Description
Come and discover this green space in Annemasse. This site, located on the edge of town above the Casino, covers an area of over 5 hectares, mostly on embankments, and includes a flower meadow, orchards, a wood and a wetland.
The Vernand hillsides are made up of south-facing slopes overlooking the Arve River. This area is particularly rich in plant and animal biodiversity. It is home to the yellow-bellied toad (a European protected species), as well as over 200 plant species.
After acquiring the site, the Ville d'Annemasse undertook development work on the slopes in 2013, with the aim of enhancing the richness of this area and making it accessible to all, while preserving its natural appearance. The Vernand hillsides were classified ENS (Espace Naturel Sensible) by the Departmental Council in 2014.
Just a stone's throw away, discover the Jardin des Iris, or join the pedestrian walk along the banks of the Arve, via the Chemin des îles.
