Yacht race this weekend – Photo above cnp
From the 17-19 June, the fabulous yacht race the “Bol D’ Or” will take place on Lac Léman. Yachts begin the race in Geneva on Saturday and sail as fast as they can down to the other end of the lake to Le Bouveret and back again. It’s also a fabulous photo taking opportunity! The above photo on the banner was taken by the Living in Nyon editor in 2007 (and used on the Bol D’or website!) Best to get up early to get those shots though. Here’s the website (English section) with details of the full programme and departure times of the yachts.
New events website
A new website launched yesterday called “inanyevent.ch” . This is a very useful online guide to events and activities that are happening across Switzerland. The site also comes with accompanying videos to some of the events mentioned, such as one on the “Hope Exhibition” at the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, and another on the “Calvin World Photography Exhibition” in Geneva. Living in Nyon will be alerting its readers to events featured on this new site that will be of interest locally.
