The shops are now becoming very busy with last minute shoppers and the queues are long, however yesterday a theatre group entertained children in La Combe shopping centre yesterday which gave parents a bit of a breather.
Church over Christmas
If you want to go to an English speaking church service over Christmas in the area then check out the websites of La Côte church in Gingins and Westlake church in Nyon and Lausanne. There is also an English speaking traditional carol service at the cathedral in Geneva's old town at 17:00 on Christmas Eve, but it's imperative you get there early for a seat as this is a vary popular service with many expats!
Shops closed on the 2nd Jan
Don't forget that the 2nd of January is a holiday here and the shops will be closed. Many restaurants offer special menus for New Year's Eve and these are published in La Côte newspaper.
Cinema
The cinema in Nyon does not appear to have any films on in English up until the 29th December but there are a few in Geneva, Lausanne and the shopping complex Balexert (look for the letters v.o) by the name of the film. Listings of films are in most newspapers.
Launch of sauna in Nyon by the lake
On the 3rd January from 11:00 a.m there will be the official opening of the sauna (down by La Plage) this is organised by the association of "les bains de trois jetees". There was an event at the same place last year and it was great fun! Check out their site for opening times of the buvette etc
Date for your diary
Finally, a reminder that on the 28th January at 19:30 there will be a talk in English in Nyon by journalist Jordan Davis from World Radio Switzerland called "Swiss Politics for Dummies" in collaboration with this site Living in Nyon. There will also be an opportunity to hear from and chat to your local councillors in English too.
