The Palais des Nations (English: Palace of Nations) in Geneva, Switzerland, was built between 1929 and 1936 as the headquarters of the League of Nations. It has served as the home of the United Nations Office at Geneva since 1946 when the Secretary General of the UN signed a Headquarters Agreement with the Swiss authorities, although Switzerland did not become a member of the UN until 2002. Dad almost worked here.
Views of the flags representing the members of the United Nations.
Very big fountain across the road, and even bigger replica of a 3-legged chair representing the fragile nature of peace in our world.
Too bad the tour did not start until 2pm so we just looked around.
Across the road we visited the International Red Cross and Red Crescent museum. They close on Tuesdays.
