Today Carouge is part of Geneva, but this was not always so. Until the 17th century the area was practically deserted and in 1754 Carouge became part of the Kingdom of Sardinia. King Victor Amédée III commissioned architects from Torino to design a town which he hoped would become Geneva's economic competitor. Still today, the minute you reach Carouge you feel as though you are entering a foreign village with its own identity and atmosphere. It is a real treat to stroll through this preserved late-18th century town; quaint narrow streets, old buildings, inner courtyards, flowered gardens, sidewalk cafés, churches, fountains antique shops and boutiques, as well as a colorful market on Wednesday and Saturday morning all add to its charm.
