Remains of various megalithic settings, now re-erected in the grounds of the town hall at Troinex, a Geneva suburb.

There are 2 menhirs, each about 1 metre tall alongside a tumulus and a copy of the Pierre-aux-Dames. These were all originally found in the Troinex area.

Address: Chemin de la Grand Cour 2, 1256
