Living in Nyon and Know-it-all passport have produced a new 2016 podcast: on this latest one you can hear about the key events happening in the Nyon area throughout the next 12 months, and suggestions for various spas and thermal baths that are worth a visit for a bit of New Year pampering. Lisa (from Know-it-all passport) also teaches Catherine a form of French argot – useful info if you are learning the language and want to be up-to-date with local expressions.
They talk briefly about the Hot-Air Balloon Festival which takes place from the 23rd to the 31st January in Château-d’Oex. This pretty village, which is around two hours by train from Nyon is host to an annual meeting of balloonists. It’s a spectacular sight to see all the balloons in the air! Full details here
