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

Museums Turn into Playgrounds for the Holidays Across Nyon, the Musée romain, Musée du Léman and Château de Nyon are opening their doors to younger visitors with a series of hands-on workshops.

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

From 17 to 26 April 2026, Nyon once again hosts Switzerland’s leading documentary film festival and one of the most recognised internationally. @Visions du Réel Not just for Film People If you’ve never been, it’s easy to assume this is “for cinephiles.” It is. But it’s also much more than that. Visions du Réel is built around real stories with films that explore lives, ideas and perspectives from around the world.
