Bellevue is a municipality of the Canton of Geneva, Switzerland. It is situated along the northern shores of Lake Geneva and has grown substantially within the past two decades due to the housing shortage in Geneva proper. Mainly families have moved to Bellevue. A local state school and short distances to several international schools and the airport have made it the location of choice for a high share of expatriates. Bellevue is home to the recently (2006) accomplished headquarters of luxury brand conglomerate Richemont and the Webster University.
