Our Geneva-based auto-moto-\u00e9cole L\u00e9manique offers you a 50-minute manual or automatic driving course, tailored to your needs. Entirely tailor-made, it will help you identify your strengths and areas for improvement, and make you aware of the subtleties and different rules of Swiss traffic. It&#8217;s also an opportunity to review with you a few maneuvers that you might want to improve, and to show you around Geneva (Servette, Augustin, Eaux Vive, Carouge) and the surrounding area.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This course is not compulsory, but is highly recommended to prepare you for the practical test.
