Leadership has always involved change. What feels different now is the speed, complexity and n

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.

It is easy to forget when walking through Nyon that beneath the cafés, streets and shops sits a Roman city that dates back more than 2,000 years. On Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 June, the Journées romaines (Roman Days) return to Nyon and for one weekend lean fully into that history. Gladiators will fight, legionnaires will patrol the streets, artisans will demonstrate ancient crafts and mythology will once again fill the Esplanade des Marronniers. This year’s edition is particular

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
