Holiday apartments, party venues and a reminder of events coming up over the weekend. Also, the pool is now open!
If you are short of space at home but would like to invite friends and family from overseas to visit you, why not check out some of the holiday apartments and houses in the area that can be rented on a weekly basis? Nyon tourism has a list of these places and they vary from chalets in Founex, to apartments in Givrins. You can see the list here.
Do you want to hold a party, an event, a meeting with friends, colleagues, or simply have a get together? Did you know there is a handy little guide called "Guide des Refuges et Salles - Edition Vaud 2010-2011"? In this guide there are over 380 venues listed in Vaud, from buvettes to rooms to refuges. "Refuges" are often situated in lovely countryside settings and are great if you want to make a bit of noise at your party and don't want to disturb the neighbours !
Each venue comes with a description of its facilities ie: whether there is a barbecue, parking, water, electricity, refrigeration, heating, wc, etc. In some of these places bunks are provided. Here is the link to the website for "refuges" which covers many cantons across Switzerland, just click on Vaud for info on this area.
Events over the next few days in the area.
It's all happening in Coppet
A reminder that it is the big "Giron des Musique de la Côte Ouest" in Coppet this weekend with music competitions on Saturday, jazz, blues and rock and roll in the evening and on Sunday a grand fanfare musical procession through the old town of Coppet at 10:30 See the programme here for all details of this big event.

Also don't forget "The Producers" the Mel Brooks musical is on this weekend and next in the Theatre du Marens in Nyon. see previous post for more details. The Outdoor Pool is now open! Nyon's lovely outdoor swimming pool at Colovray is now open for business. There is a reduced price for Nyon residents (take along some form of identity and proof that you are a resident to take advantage of this). If you think you may be using the pool a lot over the summer season, it could be well worth you buying an abonnement (a seasonal pass). Opening times of the pool here
