On Sunday 8 March, Nyon residents voted to shape the city’s political landscape for the 2026–2031 legislature.

Nyon’s library is getting ready for a big move and the readers of Nyon are invited to be part of it. The Adult and Young People’s library sites, currently split between Maison Richard and Chemin de Crève-Cœur, will soon come together under one roof at Avenue Reverdil 4 , in the former Moser School building.
