And we are back!

After more than a month of holidays, friends & family visits and Fêtes-de-Genève profiting, we are back to keep giving you some bits and tips to enjoy Geneva to its fullest!!!

So stay tuned cause… we are back!

Brasserie du Bourg-de-Four

Two weekends ago my friends Rose and Richard came for a weekend visit! On Sunday, before they had to leave for the airport, we had a stroll around the old town and a late lunch at the Brasserie du Bourg-de-Four. 

It's a great place to take guests as it is right in the middle of la vieille ville and they serve different kinds of the typical Swiss dish called rosti! Delicious!

Fort de l'Écluse

From June 15 until September 14 you can visit at Léaz, France, the Fort l'Ecluse. It is only a 30min drive from Geneva, and it is the natural entrance to France from Switzerland. It was founded by a Duke of Savoy and nowadays you can climb its 1.165 handmade steps to be amazed by a stunning view. During the summer you can also enjoy art shows and concerts.

Visit the website… and visit the Fort!

Montreaux Jazz Festival

Until July 19, the Montreaux Jazz Festival is ON!!! Since 1967, different styles of artists come together in Switzerland to offer free concerts and jam sessions each night around the lake. There are of course paid venues where you can listen from up-close to some of the greatest stars of the world!

Check the programme and decide when to go! It's a no miss opportunity!

Lausanne

Forty minutes by car from Geneva, or only thirty minutes by train, you can reach beautiful Lausanne. Just walk around the city enjoying the beautiful old-style buildings, do some shopping, stroll around Ouchy, which is Lausanne's lakefront, and grab a nice cocktail in one of its trendy bars.

Eat me is a nice place for lunch, where you can get a taste of food from all over the globe! We recommend you to book in advance. Normally two dishes per person is enough and it can cost around Sfr 35.- p.p.

A must of course in Lausanne is a visit to the Olympic Museum, which was re-opened this year. The entrance costs Sfr 18.- and it is really worth it!

A short drive from Lausanne you can find the village of Chexbres, and there, what for me is the best lake-view ever! Relax enjoying a cocktail, glass of wine and an affordable amuse-bouche, while making an unforgettable memory for the future at le Deck of Le baron tavernier!
