Christmas Market: Noël Au Jardin

· Date: 19th November - 27th December 2020

· Venue: Jardin anglais

In What would December in Geneva be without Christmas stalls popping up and the smell of cinnamon in the air? The city has some lovely markets dotted around the centre and a little further afield.

Framed by the Jet D’Eau, the English Garden is transformed into a Christmas Village with uncountable objects, delicacies and other wonderful discoveries to be made. The children, after taking spins on the ice of the ice rink, can be diverted by many activities of the Children's Pavilion - sure to both warm them up and delight them. For the older ones, the bars and eateries will surely warm them up!
