Switzerland · community hub: Eaux-Vives / Champel · airport GVA, about 15 min by car. Everything below was checked against the sources on each listing in November 2026; confirm times with the shul before you rely on them.
No Geneva eruv found online as of Nov 2026: Wikipedia's list of eruvin, the CIG Shabbat sheet of 31 Oct 2026, the CIG services page (rechecked 1 Nov 2026) and Chabad's visitor guide do not mention one (Zurich has one); ciog.ch would not load. Treat Geneva as having no eruv and confirm with the CIG rabbinate (+41 22 317 89 07) before carrying. I found no live status page.
