At first we thought we'd get by quite well without car. But it's looking like for weekend travel, it would be best to have one. Our apartment doesn't come with parking. How do most people find a spot?
thanks!

I've lived in Eaux-Vives for 2 years, most of it without garage.
Obviously, you buy a Macaron, so you can park for free at blue spots. You buy that at the top floor of the parking garage at the end of Rue des Acacias. But that doesn't help much since they sold more Macarons than there are parking spots and they seem to change more and more spots from blue to white (i.e. paid).
Depending on the day and time, finding a parking spot can be tough. I used to have a route I would drive through the small streets looking for one. But it happened that I had to park my car all the way at Parc des Eaux-Vives, which was a 10-minute walk from my house.In the evening I often had to park at a white spot or illegally, which meant I had to get out early the next day (before 8am) to move the car.
It's the price you pay for living in Eaux-Vives I'm afraid. If you can afford it try to find a an indoor parking spot; it costs about 300-400 CHF per month.
