At midday on Sunday, the temperature was very, very cold in Nyon, yet despite this, a group of very brave souls gathered together (at the beach) to swim in the lake and to help kick start a new initiative called "Les Bains de Trois Jetées". This newly formed association is a group of individuals who love the area around the lake and they want to make it a year round place to visit, not just for the summer.
Plans are afoot to install a temporary hammam and a sauna down by the lake for use in the winter. On Sunday there was a bit of a party atmosphere with fondue, wine, and drummers, all livening up the grey and cold day. It was encouraging to see the hundreds of people who turned up to watch and support this new project and the swimmers deserved a medal for their efforts. You will see above there is a new format for photos. it takes just a few seconds to load. Just click on each photo to see it with explanatory text in colour, and full screen. I will be using this format from time to time when there are events which produce lots of photos.
