It's the annual chocolate festival in Versoix this Saturday 24 and also on Sunday 25 March. This festival is hosts to lots of chocolate makers and open for the public to try out, and buy all sorts of chocolate. There are workshops for children, there's an egg hunt on Sunday, a choco train, and lots more. This festival is a great day out for families and for chocolate lovers. Open 09:00 to 18:00 both Saturday and Sunday.
Note: this is a popular event and parking can be tricky, so best take public transport to attend the event. The 23 minutes past the hour train from Nyon (change at Coppet) only takes 17 minutes to arrive in Versoix, and the festival is next to the station. The 33 mins past the hour train takes longer as you need to change in Geneva to get to Versoix. Details of festival here
