Football fans won't have to travel far to soak up the atmosphere of the FIFA World Cup this summer. From 11 June to 19 July 2026, Nyon will become the region's football hotspot, hosting what is expected to be the main fan zone between Geneva and Lausanne. While both Geneva and Lausanne have opted not to organise official fan zones during the tournament due to security measures surrounding the G7 Summit in nearby Evian, Nyon is stepping in to create a month-long gathering plac

The Nyon Tourist Office has moved. Since the beginning of March, Nyon Région Tourisme has been settling into its new home at Maison Richard, the historic building in the town centre dating back to 1672. The building may already feel familiar to many locals as it housed Nyon’s library from 1972 until its recent move to L’INTERLUDE earlier this year. To mark the move, they are inviting locals and visitors to discover the new space during two open days on 28 and 29 May. The eve

If your idea of a good weekend includes plants, local producers, gardens, nature walks or simply spending time outdoors, Natures en Fête is returning to Nyon from 29 to 31 May for its third edition. The event brings together biodiversity, gardening, local know-how and plenty of family activities across town.

Thirteen years after its last stop in Nyon, the CGN (Compagnie Générale de Navigation sur le Léman) Naval Parade is returning to town on Sunday 31 May, bringing one of Lake Geneva’s most iconic events back to the quays. If you were here in 2013, you may remember the crowds lining the lakefront. More than 8,000 people attended, with around 1,700 passengers boarding the participating boats. This year, organisers are hoping to recreate that atmosphere with a full afternoon of fe

And rather than a short ceremony, they are marking the moment with a full day of activities, running from morning through to late evening. It’s free, open to everyone, and designed so you can drop in at any point. A Day That Starts Officially… Then Opens Up The morning begins with a more traditional moment. At 10:30, there’s a presentation of the space by the cultu

Salary, dividends, shareholder loans and business expenses explained. As an entrepreneur, you’ve probably asked yourself more than once: What is the best way to pay myself from my company? The answer is more complex than it may seem. It depends on several factors, including your business model, financial capacity, and personal needs. Your compensation strategy should also take into account your personal tax situation and long-term planning objectives, which will ultimately in

How well do you know your neighbours? It’s one of those things we all say we’ll do. Take the time to have a quick conversation rather than the passing “bonjour”. A chance to get to know who lives next door. Maybe organise an apéro one day soon… Well, this is your moment. The Fête des voisin·e·s takes place on Friday 29 May 2026, and it’s exactly what it sounds like: an open invitation to turn your building, your street, or your courtyard into a social get-together, even if ju

When people think of Paléo, they usually picture the big moments. The headline acts. The crowds. The lights and music. The long queues for food that somehow still feel worth it. What’s easier to miss is everything happening behind the scenes. Because Paléo does not run on music alone. It runs on people. Paléo @Anne Colliard Each year, the festival is powered by nearly 5,500 volunteers , with 47 bars, 136 food stands, more than 250 concerts and shows , and around 250,000 festi

There are some initiatives that are easy to support, and this is one of them. This May, we’re encouraging residents and employees of the Nyon and La Côte region to take part in Steps for Cancer Support, a fun fitness challenge that turns everyday movement into free of charge support in English for people affected by cancer. Here’s what it’s all about. A Nation-wide Challenge with Real Impact From May 7-26, people across Switzerland will come together for the 7th edition of th
