Located in the heart of Geneva, where Lake Geneva empties into the Rhone River, is the Jet d'Eau, a water-jet that shoots 140 meters into the air and can be seen from every point in the city. Although originally designed to release water pressure, it is now purely decorative. It, along with the 12th-century Cathédrale St-Pierre (visible here in the distance) have become icons of the city.
