Here in the "Living in" series on this site is an article on living in Le Vaud, written by Christine Carey. Christine is from Canada and five years ago she moved up to Le Vaud from the village of Prangins.  Read on to find out about what is it like to live in the village, what the social and family life is like, read about Le Vaud's very own zoo and how to get "connected" at the local déchetterie! Living in lovely little Le Vaud After living on ‘the plain’ for five years my family and I moved up to live in  a typical Swiss chalet in the small village of Le Vaud  in the foothills of the Jura Mountains.  Our ‘Heidi house’ as my brother likes to call it, is situated at 800 metres. To our friends and family, we laugh and say how we have come up in the world compared to where we lived in Cambridge, England which was at sea level (6 metres to be precise). Lovely little Le Vaud is possibly most well known for its Zoo La Garenne . It is worth a visit especially with young children. I am not sure what everyone expects when they think ‘zoo’ but La Garenne is a quirky kind of place that started out more than 40 years ago as an animal rescue centre. It is now evolving to specialise in European species but continues to care for injured wildlife as well as raising a number of threatened species for reintroduction. The European lynx is its ‘poster child’ but it also has wolves, owls, and rare bearded vultures. In the coming years if sufficient funding can be secured, it will be expanded and relocated nearby to the edge of a forested ravine. On hot summers' evenings we can hear the owls calling  We live a stone’s throw away from the zoo and on hot summer evenings we can hear the owls calling, creating a magical atmosphere as we put our son to bed and go to sit out on the deck and wait for the other night life to begin. In the dusk you can see bats feeding, foxes, pine martens or ‘fouines’ (*the kind that eat your car brake cables- see end of article), hedgehogs, and enjoy the almost conspicuous absence of mosquitoes (rather significant to this Canadian). The shops sells wonderful bread The village has a shop that sells wonderful bread with a picture of the baker hanging on the wall near the door. I very much like the fact that I know who bakes my bread. I recommend a bread called ‘tradilin’ and a local cheese ‘tomme de cognac’ . The shop is charming and is run by a mother and daughter team. It doesn’t always open on time but I don’t really mind because I find this so ‘unSwiss’. We do however have a very Swiss and most efficient new post office and a couple of very friendly ‘posties’ who have over the years delivered us numerous Christmas cards and parcels, (as well as an inordinate number of bills of course)! Le Vaud sits on the edge of the Parc Naturel Regional Jura Vaudois which in 2009, joined up several previously existing conservation areas across the top of the Jura creating a hiker’s haven as well as an important wildlife corridor. There are several lovely walks from the village and all well signposted. Our village (I believe this is typical across the region) has its own forestland so villagers really can ‘buy local’ firewood. Since our house is 50% heated by wood firewood is important to us. As the commune's wood is not certified (yet), we order our wood from the adjacent Commune of Bassins (10 minutes to the West) which has certified its forest management according to the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) standards. My son's classroom look onto a stunning view of the Alps There are several focal points in the village. The school inevitably (offering kindergarten to Grade 4) is one, and if you are a parent this is good way to jettison you into the centre of Swiss life. My son’s classroom looks out to a stunning view of the Alps. There could be a lot worse places to send him, not to mention the fresh air and exercise walking uphill to school. There is a farm beside the school where the children just take for granted the ferrier’s regular visits, the cows’ comings and goings, the horses in their stalls, and the farm’s dog’s regular appearance on the football pitch. On the last day of school, the children are thrown a party with pony rides, loads of games, and a BBQ all organised by a local volunteer group called ‘Le Liens’ with several parents helping out. Photo above - The countryside of Le Vaud - an ideal place to bring up children The Dechetterie - An important networking centre of contacts and village information This might sound strange to the uninitiated but a second focal point of the village is the dechetterie ( local rubbish/ recycling centre). For those who have been living in Switzerland for a while, they will immediately understand. The woman who runs it is at the hub of an important network of contacts and village information. Forget LinkedIn , invest some time at the dechetterie late on a Saturday afternoon. Need to know where to buy fresh honey, eggs, find a handyman, or looking to buy a chalet before it goes on the market? Need I say more? My husband and I have over the years acquired some great ‘finds’ at the dechetterie including several beautiful tables, all for free. An amazing number of social and sports clubs Le Vaud has an amazing number of social and sport clubs and activities for such a small village. It also has a network of ‘Mamans de jour’ (child minders), music teachers (piano, flute, saxophone), art classes for children and adults, dog obedience classes, a uni-hockey club, a campground, its own tennis club, and a wonderful and thriving library (with a growing English book section). Photo above - A house in Vaud Our Swiss neighbours spoiled us with kindness   I work a lot from home and adore the privacy and tranquillity in equal measure to enjoying the company of friends and neighbours in the village. To say the Swiss are reserved is again to find exceptions. When we first moved in and had not enough time to prepare our vegetable garden, our Swiss neighbours spoiled us with kindness. We could not get near our front door without a big smile from our neighbours while waving a courgette over the hedge or finding bowls of fresh raspberries each morning on our front porch! Le Vaud is probably now like most Swiss villages in the area, in that more and more expats are moving in. Some use it as a base to commute into Geneva and find little time to participate in village life while others integrate into community life and even volunteer with the Fire Department. So life in these outlying villages is changing but in some ways Le Vaud changes even a little slower than the rest. The centre of the village needs a face lift and traffic calming measures, with plans under development. Five years living below on ‘the plain’ and five years living up in Le Vaud means I am now eligible to vote in Communal elections. So I thought I would check that my name was on the list. But when I called up the Commune office they carefully explained one does not put one’s name on the list; this being Switzerland, it is all organised well in advance. So the store may open late the odd time in the afternoon while I stand there with my nine year old son’s pocket money burning a hole in his pocket, but the Swiss are unsurprisingly ‘en forme’ when it comes to voting. My ballot was delivered well in advance by my friendly ‘postie’ and I voted for the first time hoping, probably against the odds for some change but at a leisurely lovely little Le Vaud pace.  * Fouine - Ed: These small animals ( a stone marten) can inded eat into your car brake cables, if this happens to your car, check your insurance policy as to whether you are covered for repairs.

Under the Sun – Review by Suzy Nelson-Pollard This film will be shown on Wednesday the 20th of April, at 20.00 at the Grand Champ theatre in Gland. Tickets can be bought here If it wasn’t a reality for the millions of people living in North Korea, Under the Sun could almost be a sci-fi film. Russian director, Vitaly Mansky, received permission to film a “normal family” in their everyday lives in North Korea. Each scene was carefully staged and rehearsed and re-rehearsed, each time with “more happiness and patriotism”. Yet due to the lack of technical know-how of the Koreans, Mansky managed to keep filming during the staging of each scene, and smuggle the footage out of the country. Photo above - courtesy Visions du Réel The results are impressive, funny at first sight, yet sobering and tragic as the film goes on. School lessons, work, free time, childhood and adulthood, every moment is devoted to praise to the Supreme Leader. Scenes of people commuting to work and children travelling to school are astounding, as nobody talks to each other, nobody smiles, laughs, and the faces that pass across the camera are desolate, fatigued, cold and desperate. As the young child of the family realizes how growing up comes with more responsibility and will require serving the Supreme Leader as best she can, tears stream down her face. Her mother tells her to think of something happy, and when she can’t summon such a thought, she recites a poem declaring her faithfulness to the Leader. There is nothing else that she can rejoice for. While staged photos of beautiful parades, as well as horrific human rights reports, are usually the only sources to understand North Korea, “Under the Sun” is an astounding record of the country. Demonstrating the extent of the repression, the brainwashing, the fear and the control placed on the inhabitants of this small northern country, the documentary is also beautifully filmed. It should not be missed. See trailer below.

If last night's thrilling Wimbledon final has inspired you to pick up a tennis racket for the first time, or if you already play and want to keep up with your game, then did you know that Nyon has its own tennis club for players of all ages and levels? Just on the outskirts of the town, it is set amongst lovely countryside, and has three indoor and nine outdoor courts and it welcomes new members and visitors. This year it celebrates its 75th anniversary and many famous names have played on its courts including a young Roger Federer in a tournament back in 1995! The club has an annual programme of events, summer courses and tournaments. If tennis is not your thing then you can still go to the club for lunch. Watch others running around while you sit and stay cool in the shade on the restaurant's terrace. Check out the Tennis Club website for more details (their programme of events is in English)

The Jval rock and pop music festival begins tomorrow Thursday 25th and continues until Saturday 27th August. This festival is the last of the local outdoor music festivals and take places amongst the vineyards above Begnins. It's a great venue for music lovers to end the summer season and to soak up both the lovely scenery.  There is a variety of music concerts on the programme this year including that of Lausanne funk and soul band Professor Wouassa (see Living in Nyon's review here of when they played at Paléo this year). Free transport is provided by the festival from Nyon and Gland railway station to and from the festival. For full details and programme of Jval, see site here Slow down for children.  No more free parking in central Nyon at midday. This week saw school children return to school in the public system. Most private schools open their doors next week.  Here in Switzerland, many children walk to school or take public transport and drivers may have noticed the posters along the roadside in the public information campaign "Merci de t'arrêter pour moi" - " Thankyou for stopping for me".  This is a reminder from the police to drivers to slow down and take extra caution.  On Monday in Morges, a local police officer was handing out car screen wipes to the public to remind drivers to take extra caution and to ensure they have clear visibility and to keep a safe distance from children walking and cycling to school.   Note: Parking in Nyon - From the 1st September there will be no more free parking over the lunch time period at the Place Perdtemps car park in central Nyon. Parking fees will also be increased.  Below - Interview with artist Christine Collet. Here is the first in a series of interviews with local artists who either live in the Vaud or Geneva area. These interviews are being held by Stephanie Fonteyn, an artist herself who lives in Duillier and who runs creative art classes (see previous post on Stephanie here ). Stephanie begins this series with an interview on artist Christine Collet . Christine will be exhibiting her work at the Clinique de Genolier from the 5th September to the 5th November 2011.  Christine is Swiss (born in Bern) and lives in Montreux. She lived in South Korea and Mexico before settling back down in Switzerland. She has a studio in Montreux and gives art courses to adults and children.  Christine entered the world of painting at a very young age thanks to her grandfather, a painter, who she lived with during part of her childhood. For Christine, the paintbrush is a magical tool that allows her to enter into her imaginary world. She is like a storyteller who uses a paintbrush and colour versus one who uses words. Stephanie: “Could you describe a little bit more about your work?” Christine: “ I use two different techniques; Stucco (a material made of an aggregate, a binder and water) to create organic looking coloured abstract monochromes, and acrylics to create dream-like imaginary worlds. I both mediums I am searching for a sense of harmony.” Stephanie: “How would you describe your style?” Christine: “Free, figurative versus abstract, metaphoric, expressing a personal vision that is suggestive rather than imposing.”  Stephanie:  “What made you decide to use Stucco as a medium?” Christine:  “I like the organic feel that stucco can give. I saw a painting in a gallery that used stucco and I knew that was the material I wanted to use in my paintings, and so I trained in this technique. Stephanie: “When did you decide to become an artist?” Christine: “I knew I wanted to paint at the age of 8 years. Due to various circumstances, I started painting later on in life and didn’t have the possibility to study art at school as I would have liked.” Stephanie: “When did you decide to become an artist?” Christine:  “A friend gave me my first box of paints in her garden in 1997.” Stephanie:  “What’s your strongest memory of your childhood that has influenced you as an artist?” Christine:  “My grandfather was a painter, and I was fascinated by his studio and his paintings. We were not allowed to touch anything, just watch, and for me it was a magical world. The theme of houses and imaginary worlds in my acrylic paintings are influenced by my childhood association to home; which is a place where you receive love, a place of exchange, where you can grow physically and emotionally. It’s about the heart of the home rather than the appearance of the home.” Stephanie:  “What do you like about your work?” Christine:  “It’s like a sound coming out of my mouth, I don’t know what sound is going to come out, but it comes out. There is a feeling of happiness and freedom of expression,” Stephanie:  “What do you dislike about your work?” Christine:  “The impression that I sometimes cannot transmit on canvas the feeling I want, it is as if the canvas resists. This sensation is very frustrating.” Stephanie:  “How do you overcome this? Christine:  “I put the painting aside and later on, try again and again. Using with time, or a maturation process, I can later get to the expression I was looking for.” Stephanie:  “Where do your ideas come from? Would you tell us something about your artistic process?” Christine:  “My paintings are stories, colours and imaginary worlds. My ideas come from all the things I have seen on my travels, living in different countries.” Stephanie:  “What is your greatest ambition as an artist?” Christine:  “I would like to paint an enormous painting that is bigger than me, at least two metres by two metres. It would be an abstract painting that gives me the sense of entering a story or another world.” Stephanie:  “Like Alice in Wonderland?” Christine:  “Yes!” Stephanie:  “Have you won any artistic awards?” Christine:  “Yes, I won the second prize for a metaphoric painting in May 2011 at the Forum in Hotel de Ville, Lausanne.” Stephanie:  “What are you working on at present?” Christine:  “I have two upcoming exhibitions that I am preparing a series of stucco paintings called “Aspects végétales” one of which will be at the Montreux Art Gallery in November. Stephanie: “When and where can we next see your paintings?” Christine: "At the Clinique Genolier from the 5th of September until the 5th of November 2011 or MAG (Montreux Art Gallery) from the 10th to the 14th of November 2011".

On Sunday November 1, the 9th edition of the Léman International Fair organised by Léman Events will open its doors to the public from 11:00 -17:00 with free entrance. This annual event, with over 100 exhibitors and around 2,000 visitors offers a large scale of products and services in English. Nine years ago this “international” day started in Morges in order to help the expats with their integration. The Fair expanded each year, moved to the Beaulieu Exhibition Centre and evolved into an informative day for the entire international community with the aim to connect people and businesses. Each year a new focus is added to the initial setup to keep the fair interesting and fun. In addition to the annual setup, this year an “Excellence Area” offers a choice in financial services, watches, real estate, skin care, interior design, special sports, clinics, etc. The Beau Rivage Palace will host a free champagne bar and a café area. A book exchange will also be organised by the Scots Kirk to finance one of its charities. Treasure or Trinket? Another special novelty at the fair this year. Visitors can bring their Art items, jewellery and other objets d’art to the Fair and have them valued by specialists of Bonhams Auction House Geneva. They will answer the question: Is it a Treasure or a Trinket? Note: Living in Nyon will not be at the fair this year, however " Know-it-all passport" will be there on stand number 67.   Why not go along and say "Hello" to friendly, fellow podcaster Lisa Cirieco, founder of the Know-it-all-passport book and website?

1260+ (1260 is the post code of Nyon)  is a  selection of interesting articles chosen from other English information sites and blogs here in Switzerland.  Some articles feature places around the Nyon area, some are on places or events to be found further afield. We have also chosen a selection of articles commenting on Sunday's recent vote here in Switzerland. Musée du Léman in Nyon, Winter Sledging and a review of the restaurant La Nautique We begin by pointing you to an informative article on visiting the Musée du Léman here in Nyon. This museum which has recently been renovated is situated on Nyon's lake side and is well worth a visit.  This article with photos, on the excellent  Geneva Family Diaries site, focusses on visiting the museum with young children, however Living in Nyon can also recommend  this museum for  adults too!   Read here to find out how you can step inside a submarine, take your own picnic to the café, listen to the audio instruction in English and French, let the children take part in interactive activities, and watch the fish up close in the museum's aquarium. Also, on the same website, there is an article on winter sledging with children and eating at the restaurant La Nautique in Nyon (also, one of Living in Nyon's favourite restaurants !) Swiss Wine News including latest on wine fraud in Vaud The website Geneva Lunch provides daily news on all things Swiss, including a section called  "Among the Vines" devoted to Swiss wine.

Important info for festival-goers -  Due to heavy rain many of the car-parks will be closed today (Tuesday 21 July). It is advised to take public transport to the festival.    The following post has been written by Jonas Parson. Jonas is a student at the university of Lausanne and has been covering the Paléo festival for this site for the past four years. Here he reports from the Paléo press conference and gives us a flavour of what's to come over the next six days.  As ever, there's an exciting programme of music, entertainment and great food on the line up. Both Jonas and the Living in Nyon editor will be there every night to report on it all. Paléo Press conference and what's new up at the grounds this year -  by Jonas Parson The rather miserable weather was on everyone's mind at the opening press conference for the 39 th edition of Paléo Festival on Monday. Daniel Rossellat, captain of the mighty ship Paléo (the weather allows cheesy water-related metaphors) addressed the difficult conditions of hosting an open-air festival when the weather is bad, thanking the brave and diligent volunteers who have been working in very difficult conditions over the past few weeks to have everything up to scratch for Tuesday at 16:00 when the first festival-goers will walk (or squelch) onto the grounds. Sporting a pair of flashy green wellies, Rossellat explained that he preferred bad weather during the press conference and good weather during the festival rather than the other way round, saying that you “had to be philosophical about the rain”. But as most people who have come to Paléo have been at at least once before, so the mud and rain is all part of the fun during the festival- as long as we get some sun somewhere along the way! The Andes at the Village du Monde Speaking of the sun, the Andes - home to the sun-worshipping Incas - are this year's destination for the Village du Monde . This festival-in-the-festival is dedicated to a different part of the world each year, bringing a mix of traditional and contemporary culture to l'Asse. Colourful Andean summits have been installed in the village, made of an impressive 47 km of nylon string (that's the distance between Nyon and Yverdon!). A reference to the massive mountain chain that streaks through South America, and the colourful visual identity of today's South American bands, these constructions decorate this area where you will be able to listen to a mix of cumbia and electronic music, whilst eating an empanada or some guacamole (we will definitely be writing some more about the amazing food at Paléo later during the week!) Despite the wet weather, the morale is high for Rossellat and his team, who have been hosting a sold-out festival for the last fifteen years. This year, the rush to the tickets beat new records, with the Wednesday night selling out in 8 minutes! Stromae will be bringing his beats and deep lyrics to make the whole of l'Asse dance, and a crowd of a younger age is expected for the concert of the Belgian phenomenon, who is very popular with young kids. Paléo is all about collaboration This year's edition marks the tenth year of collaboration between Paleo and the HES-SO, and to celebrate they have brought a giant Ferris wheel ready to take festival-goers to new heights, and discover the grounds from the sky. A series of 70's caravans will also showcase the student's different projects, as each year. Another regular collaboration, Monic La Mouche are back for the fourth year with their poetic and rugged structures, their new sculptures incorporating live plants in them. Paléo supports associations and NGOs who do good work helping people in different ways, and this year they have decided to highlight the efforts of Terre des Hommes in Latin America, as well as the great work of ARFEC , who accompany children with cancer. Both will be on site and you can go and talk to them if their projects interest you. Roussel Concert cancelled Tuesday Due to injuries after falling of a stage last week, Gaetan Roussel will be unable to perform on the main stage tomorrow. His concert has been replaced by young national star Bastian Baker, who played last year at Paléo (also under the rain...). A note on getting to the festival Transport-wise, the Festival encourages people to use public transport to and from the site . They aim for at least half the festival goers to come by train or bus, reducing the carbon footprint of the festival, and making it all much easier and enjoyable for everyone. So if you plan on coming to Paléo, think of checking the timetables, as the trains and buses run for most of the day and night, making it a hassle-free way of getting there.(It also means you get to drink more beer or wine, if that's what you like doing!)  This is even more important for tomorrow, as the heavy rain protocol has been put in place and many of the car-parks on site will be closed, to make sure cars do not get swamped due to the mud and rain. People coming by car will be redirected towards Nyon, and extra buses have been put in place. So if you plan on coming on Tuesday, use public transport!
