By car

As there is currently no visitor parking at the Maison de la paix, we advise you to visit us by public transport.
The nearest public parking garage is the Sécheron Park and Ride, located underneath the Institute's Picciotto Student House and accessed via Rue Kazem-Radjavi, located just behind the World Meteorogical Organisation. Turn right just in front of the JTI Headquarters and then left into the parking entrance (underneath the pedestrian bridge that crosses the railway line).
Once parked, take the pedestrian exit to Ave de la France, turn right and walk two-minutes across the bridge to the Maison de la paix.
Please note Chemin Eugène-Rigot is closed to all motorised vehicles.
