The lake’s temperature was a mere six degrees on Sunday but it didn’t stop quite a few brave souls going for a swim as part of the official inaugaration of the sauna (see post from 2nd January). There were those that swam in regular swimming costumes and those who dressed up to go in the water. The “dutchtub” by the lake provided a welcome warm up!
The new sauna next to the lake (the building with the chimney and porthole looking onto the water). Raclette and mulled wine on offer to the onlookers
Getting rid of the Christmas tree and other rubbish/garbage
For those that live in Nyon, the official decheterie is in Chemin de Borgogne 12 (here’s a link to a map with the address) Opening times Monday to Saturday 08:30 – 11:45 and 13:30 – 17:30 Closed on Sunday and holidays.
For rubbish that can left outside your home/apartment including Christmas trees, there are certain days allocated each month for rubbish collection, depending on the kind of rubbish and which area of Nyon you live in. Each area is divided into a zone. You should have received a leaflet from the council on this, if you do not have it then you can download it from the Nyon website or here A new leaflet for 2010 should be published soon, keep an eye out for it in your letter box.
If you live outside Nyon then many villages either have their own decheterie or there is one that links up with another village nearby.
