A listed historical residence, located in the heart of the Old Town, the Maison Tavel is the oldest private dwelling preserved in Geneva and represents a unique testimony to medieval civil architecture. Transformed into a museum in 1986, it offers on six levels the possibility to discover the urban evolution of the city, as well as different aspects of the past life of its inhabitants. It houses the Relief Magnin, a large model of the city, a spectacular reconstruction of Geneva before the demolition of its fortifications in 1850.
