Paléo has arrived! The Paléo sponsors have their posters up around Nyon, one of them is showing a couple covered in mud at an outdoor concert. However,the weather is promising to be great, so no mud at least for the next few days..just sunshine and music.
The streets of Nyon are starting to fill up with festival goers, the local butcher who always puts up a Paléo display in his window has done so again this year.
and Migros supermarket has carrier bags with the Paléo logo on.
So all remains now is for the bands to start arriving and for the music to start. Of course Paléo is not just about the music its also about meeting friends, eating food from all the great foodstalls
and watching and experiencing all the entertainment provided.
This year check out the area called La Ruche (the Hive), a new area dedicated to circus performance and street theatre. In the Quartier des Alpes there will be sculptures that look like giant chandeliers and balls of light, and they will be set alight by a team of lamplighter-actors at nightfall.
There will be lots more on offer. If you haven't got tickets, then all is not lost there are a 1,000 that go on sale at 09:00 each morning on the Paleo website.
