Bye, bye!!!

I hope you have enjoyed this year in Geneva, I certainly have! Now 2015 comes up with new projects and adventures for me and my husband, so I will be abandoning you, but I do hope that whoever bumps into this blog will never again dare say that Geneva is boring!!!

Air14 - Air show at Payerne

This Sunday my husband woke me up at 7.30am (yep, you read that correctly!) to arrive early to the air show that's going on in Payerne, around one hour from Geneva. Can't say I was thrilled at those early hours of the morning, but I must admit the show was amazing!

Though I still think it's no big deal if you arrive a bit later than I did, I do recommend you to drop by this Saturday or Sunday (whichever day does not rain!) and enjoy the show!

Try to buy your tickets online, it is much more convenient (Sfr 33.-) and take into account that the parking is Sfr 10.- cash. Thank G we had a blanket in the car to sit down and watch the show! Everyone was super prepared with chairs and stuff, so do bring something, there are no stands from where you can watch it, so the choices are to stand up or sit on the floor!

Check the program here and… enjoy!!!

Open gardens!

On Saturday May 24 and Saturday June 14, anonymous families in Geneva are opening their beautiful houses to the public. All the funds collected will go to help the people in need in the area.

Check the agenda and the gardens that are open to the public here.

Have fun!

Ethnopalms

At Geneva's botanical garden (which of course I expect all of you to have already visited!) you can find from from May 14 until October 19 a curious presentation of palmtrees relationship with human beings and the use which we give them: medicines, food, building, weaving, etc.

An interesting exhibition you shouldn't miss and, of course, for free!

Concert at Madeleine's church

On Sunday May 18 and Wednesday May 21, the Ensemble Vocal Orphée will proudly act at the Madeleine church at Geneva's Old Town. They will play three works from Zelenka and will be accompanied by the Orchestre Baroque du Léman.

The entry is free!

Tulip festival at Morges

For the last two years I've been going to Morges in spring to enjoy their Tulip Festival! It is so beautiful to walk around the Parc de l'Independance in a blue-sky day with the lake on the background, surrounded by more than 120.000 tulips of different colors… Amazing!!!

This year you can enjoy these beautiful tulips of more than 300 varieties from March 29 to May 11!

Don't miss it!
