The Bain des Pâquis is NOT the equivalent of Turkish baths - it is a place where people can, for a very small fee, have a cabin in which to change and keep their clothes, swim in the lake in areas defined by concrete barriers (there is a women's side and an all-public side, along with a children's "beach" where the water is shallow, as well as a nice cafeteria which offers excellent and very cheap meals. Only lately has a sauna been added, as well as a massage service. I have lived in Geneva since September 1948.
