Curling up with a good book and warming up with a fondue

Photo above: the temperature in Nyon on Thurday morning. Do the freezing conditions in the Nyon area right now make you want to simply stay inside and curl up with a good book?  If so, there are various local places where you can find English books both in local shops and in libraries.

Nyon library has a small selection of English books on the top floor of its building and it also has selection of  music with both rock pop and classical  CDs to rent. These are to be found in the reading room on the ground floor where there are also a good variety of journals, newspapers and other publications that can be read on the premises.  Nyon library is in a lovely old building directly opposite the Place Perdtemps car park and it is open on Saturdays mornings.   However this Saturday the 4th February it is "Le Samedi des bibliothèques Vaudoises" with events going on throughout the day.  See previous post here about the library.  The village of Crans près Céligny also has an English section in its library for its readers, see previous post on this library here.  If you prefer to to buy your books, then Payot in la Combe shopping centre in Nyon has a good selection of English fiction and non fiction books. The "Reading Duck" in Grand Rue in Nyon also stocks a small collection of English childrens' books and a large selection in French. Both shops stock the Living along Lac Léman book too! A Site for Fondue Lovers which lists some of the Best places for a Fondue in the area If you are on the hunt for a good fondue, did you know that the Fondue of the Month Club has a website that highlights "the best (and some of the less than best) fondues that are available in Geneva and the Canton of Vaud"? The site says  "We don't pretend to be gastronomic experts but we do know what we like. Browse through the more than 10 years of reviews and you'll see we have plenty of experience to share".  There is a detailed chart on their site of many fondue venues. The chat  rates each place for ambiance, and for the fondue, flavour, texture, digestibility!   There is even a blog post  from last July of  "Worst Fondues" and "Top Fondues". It makes fascinating reading and is a real gem of a resource. If you also know of a good fondue spot that is not on their list, the club invites you to help them out by adding your own comments and taste test results.
