Messery
The keeper of mysterious prehistoric and ancient heritage
La verdoyante Messery a reçu son nom latin, Missiaricum, en référence à l’agriculture florissante de la région à l’époque romaine. Aujourd’hui, elle se trouve dans une zone forestière, au croisement de sentiers tranquilles, et est encadrée par les rives du lac Léman. Son paysage littoral est un endroit très apprécié des amateurs de sports nautiques. Ce paysage luxuriant et dynamique a une longue et riche histoire : des vestiges de deux établissements néolithiques ont été mis au jour et, en 1841, lors de la construction de l’église locale Saint-Pierre, filleule de la cathédrale de Genève, des fragments de pierre romaine, provenant très probablement de vestiges locaux, ont été incorporés à la structure.

Excenevex
A unique, sandy beach on the shores of Lake Geneva
Excenevex is primarily known for the delightful, natural, fine, sandy beach that stretches along the coastline and descends gradually towards the crystal-clear water. During the summer months, when the blue-green lake and golden sand sparkle under the bright rays of the sun, it has a certain Mediterranean feel to it... As the weather turns colder, beach-goers are replaced by a wide variety of birds that come to winter in this safe haven. In the very heart of the village stands the church, named after young Saint Symphorien, who was martyred during the reign of Marcus Aurelius for refusing to worship idols.

Yvoire
A blossoming medieval village
Un des plus beaux villages de France, Yvoire est l’endroit où le temps semble s’être arrêté au Moyen Âge. Ce village médiéval, si bien conservé, a été fortifié par Amadeus V, fils de Thomas II de Savoie, au XIVe siècle. L’imposant château se dresse toujours fièrement, protégeant ce petit village pittoresque. Situé à l’extrémité de la presqu’île du lac Léman, Yvoire se trouve à la jonction des deux parties principales de celui-ci, le « petit lac » et le « grand lac ». Des rues serpentines conduisent les visiteurs, à travers des promenades tranquilles, parmi les charmantes façades des boutiques, jusqu’au lac resplendissant où ils peuvent admirer, à la fois, la vue splendide sur le port, les montagnes du Jura, le paysage suisse et les Alpes.

THONON-Les-Bains
Where the Lake and Mountain meet
Thonon-les-Bains reveals its charms on the shores of Lake Geneva, balancing vibrant urban life with lakeside scenery. The shopping streets, market, and cafés create a pleasant town-like atmosphere, while the harbour and lakeside promenade offer sweeping views of the surrounding mountains and invite visitors to take leisurely strolls. The town is lively and dynamic, hosting festivals, cultural events, and activities throughout the year, while also offering direct access to water sports and hiking trails along the lake.
C’est dans ce contexte que s’inscrit le tout jeune théâtre de Verdure, récemment baptisé Valère-Novarina, du nom du célèbre dramaturge franco-suisse récemment disparu. A l’image des théâtres antiques à ciel ouvert, ce nouvel espace événementiel étire ses gradins dans l’écrin du parc du Léman récemment créé, face à une scène dont l’arrière-plan n’est autre que le grand paysage du Léman. Le contexte naturel et patrimonial de ce théâtre de verdure semblait tout désigné pour accueillir un chœur.

Carouge
Little Italy in Geneva
Although located in a modern, developed area just outside Geneva, this former royal town retains a special charm. Strolling through the streets of the old town or Vieux-Carouge, which still conveys strong echoes of 18th-century Sardinian life during the reign of Victor Amadeus III, the visitor is immediately transported to a lively Italian town. At the same time, the quiet parks and charming streets create a calm, relaxed atmosphere. The Mediterranean charm of Carouge can be attributed to the Italian architects who designed the buildings. Carouge's bohemian quarter is host to independent cafés, interesting local hideaways, artisan boutiques, and artists' studios.
