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.

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.

From March 19 to April 5, 2025, Nyon is set to host a series of cultural, artistic, and festive events under the banner La Fabrique Des Discriminations ( The Manufacture of Discrimination ). This initiative, led by the Swiss-Foreign Integration Commission of Nyon ( CISEN ), aims to explore the mechanisms behind discrimination, with a special focus on the history and culture of Roma communities. The program aligns with the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination on March 21. Anti-Racism Action Week 2025 Photo: DR Switzerland is home to an estimated 80,000 to 100,000 Roma individuals, many of whom are Swiss citizens contributing to the nation's cultural diversity. Despite their integral role in society, the Roma community has historically faced discrimination and marginalisation. A Symbol of Commitment: Illuminating Nyon Castle In a powerful statement against discrimination, the Château de Nyon will be illuminated from March 21 to 28, serving as a luminous reminder of the importance of vigilance and unity in the face of prejudice. A Photographic Journey at La Soliderie From March 19 to April 5, La Soliderie will host "The Long Road to Oneself," a poignant photographic exhibition by Ukrainian artist Daria Vorobiova. The showcase features the stories of 14 refugee women in Switzerland, capturing narratives of resilience and reconstruction. The exhibition's opening on March 20 at 17h will feature music by Lausanne DJ Prêtresse Fatale and an aperitif prepared by chefs from the Alter Start Food program. Engage and Reflect: Workshops and Festivities Awareness Workshop:  On March 22, from 15h to 17h, a participatory workshop at La Soliderie will delve into understanding and dismantling discrimination mechanisms.

Residents and visitors alike are encouraged to participate actively, enriching their understanding and contributing to a future free from discrimination.

Claude Nicollier What do you get when you mix Swiss efficiency with cosmic ambition? Switzerland’s first and only astronaut, Claude Nicollier, recently spoke at A-One Business Park in Rolle, sharing stories from space that left the audience inspired and quietly awestruck. A-One, known for its panoramic views over Lake Geneva and modern workspace design, has also become a venue for thought-provoking events but this one was something special. After all, it’s not every day you hear firsthand what it’s like to float in orbit or repair the Hubble Space Telescope. From Earth to Orbit Between 1992 and 1999, Nicollier completed four space missions with NASA and the European Space Agency. His work on the Hubble Space Telescope remains one of his most well-known contributions and one of the most dangerous. He shared what it felt like to move through space at 28,000 km/h, to spend hours in a spacesuit outside the shuttle, and to trust a team with your life in a place where even the smallest error can be fatal. And yet, he spoke with calm and humility and a touch of dry humour. What stood out wasn’t just the science but the mindset. His key message? Spaceflight teaches you serious lessons in risk management, shared leadership, and staying laser-focused in chaotic situations. “You don’t think too much about the danger,” he said. “If you do, you’ll just stop.” The Man Behind the Mission Nicollier's passion with space began in childhood. He remembers spotting Echo 1 , one of the first satellites visible from Earth, and was instantly hooked.  It wasn’t just the technology that drew him in. It was the beauty. He still gets emotional watching a sunset,that moment when light fades and stars begin to appear. That magical twilight, he says, is where his love for the cosmos truly lives. What's Next for Swiss Space Switzerland’s future in space is looking bright. Marco Sieber, a medical doctor and astronaut, is currently in training with the European Space Agency. Could he be the first Swiss on the moon? We will have to wait and see! Even more groundbreaking: ESA has also begun training the world’s first “parastronaut”, a physically disabled astronaut who uses a prosthetic. It's a powerful sign that space exploration is becoming more inclusive and more human. A Few Fascinating Facts from Space Space shuttles fly at 28,000 km/h: that’s Nyon to Zurich in under a minute! Apollo 11 landed on the moon on 20–21 July 1969. There’s no clear line where Earth ends and Space begins. It's more of a gradual transition. Echo 1 , launched in 1960, was one of the first visible satellites and deeply influenced a young Claude Nicollier. More Than Just a Business Park This event also highlighted how A-One Business Park is evolving. Beyond its modern offices, it’s becoming a space where people come together. For talks, meet-ups and community events like this one so we can learn, connect, and occasionally hear from someone who’s been to space and back! And with panoramic views over Lake Geneva, even the most grounded of us can feel a little inspired. Claude Nicollier’s message wasn’t just about rockets or orbits. It was about perspective. On risk, on wonder, and what it means to work together toward something greater than ourselves. Whether you’re launching satellites or startups, that’s a message worth hearing.

Special thanks to Hester from the Swiss Gardening School for sharing these wonderful tips on balcony gardening! With 60% of the population in Switzerland living in rented apartments, (the highest percentage in Europe) many people don’t have access to a garden or even a large outdoor area. For those who can’t plant directly in the ground, don’t worry! Here are some fantastic plant suggestions that are perfect for small balconies or terraces. Screening Options for Balconies If your balcony needs privacy from neighbors, the street, or an unpleasant view, plants can be a practical and beautiful solution. Hedge in a Pot Consider creating a “hedge in a pot” by selecting smaller versions of hedging plants. One excellent choice is Viburnum tinus “Gwenllian” , a hardy evergreen shrub that: Blooms in winter Reaches up to 1.5 meters in height and width over time Thrives in large containers for many years Tactical Screening with Japanese Maples Alternatively, you can use striking plants like dwarf Japanese maples to create a visual focal point while screening your space. A great option for a shady balcony is Acer palmatum “Kagiri-Nishiki” , which features: Stunning variegated leaves Fiery red and orange foliage in autumn A compact size, maturing to just 1 meter tall Pair these plants with an elegant pot to enjoy year-round beauty and functionality. Climbers for Balconies If your balcony lacks space for larger plants, climbers on trellises can provide vertical interest and privacy. Roses for Balconies For rose lovers, the Meilland rose “David Hockney” is a perfect balcony plant. This delightful rose features: Cream and pink flowers Repeat blooms from spring to frost A light fragrance and disease resistance A manageable height of up to 1.5 meters This rose pairs beautifully with early-flowering alpine clematis for an extended bloom period. Fragrant Climbers If you prefer fragrant plants, the false jasmine (Trachelospermum jasminoides) is an excellent choice for containers. Key features include: Manageable growth in pots (up to 1.5 meters) Varieties like the classic white, Trachelospermum asiaticum “Pink Showers” , or the creamy yellow “Chilli and Vanilla” Tolerance for cold temperatures down to -10°C Minimal support needs, as it winds naturally around trellises Discover Gardening Workshops with the Swiss Gardening School Looking to level up your balcony gardening skills? Visit Hester’s website, Swiss Gardening School , for a range of upcoming workshops! Including: Plant Workshops on Pots, Potpourris, and Soaps – February 4th 2025 Valentine’s Bouquets – February 13th 2025 And much more! Book your spot online via the website. With these tips and inspiration, even the smallest balcony can become a lush, green oasis. Happy gardening!

Nyon is a town that’s constantly evolving, with people arriving, settling in, and moving on. The latest population statistics (as of June 30, 2024) give us a snapshot of who’s living here, where they’re from, and how the community changes. But who actually calls Nyon home right now? A special thanks to Ville de Nyon  for providing the data The historic Château de Nyon and the Municipality Office. A Town of Many Nations With a resident population of 23,469 , Nyon is a blend of long-time locals, Swiss newcomers, and a thriving international community. Nearly 40% of residents  are foreign nationals, adding different cultures, languages, and global flavours to our lakeside town. Walk down the high street, step into a café, or browse the local shops, and you’ll hear not just French, German, and Italian —but a mix of languages from all over the world. So, where is everyone from? Here are the top six foreign nationalities  in Nyon: French Portuguese Italian Spanish Kosovar British Any surprises here? There are over 130 nationalities represented in Nyon, including residents from Nepal, Uruguay, Vietnam, South Africa and Kazakhstan. The mix is never more obvious than during the Euros or the World Cup! Car horns beeping, flags waving from windows and cars and celebrations can last for hours after a big win—it’s all part of what makes Nyon such a lively place to call home. A small town with a big international heart. A Town on the Move Nyon has always had a transient side, with people arriving for work, study, and new adventure, while others move on to their next chapter. A snapshot of just one month in 2024 gives us a glimpse of this constant flow: 77 foreign and 56 Swiss residents moved in. 79 foreign and 69 Swiss residents moved out. 14 babies were born—hello, future Nyonnais! 12 residents officially became Swiss citizens. And looking at the bigger picture, in the past year, over 1,299 foreigners and 753 Swiss  arrived, while 1,130 foreigners and 897 Swiss  moved away—almost an even trade! It’s like Nyon has its own revolving door, constantly welcoming new faces while sending others off to their next adventure. Nyon is Young! With 1,638 residents under 16, Nyon is undeniably a family-friendly town. From lakeside adventures to playgrounds and parks, it’s a place where kids can grow, explore, and enjoy an outdoorsy childhood. Did You Know? Nyon’s international spirit isn’t new—it’s been a melting pot since Roman times! Back in the day, it was known as Colonia Iulia Equestris or Noviodunum, a bustling town full of merchants and traders from across the Roman Empire. Fast forward a couple of thousand years, and the mix of cultures is still what makes Nyon special. Roman Columns What Does It All Mean? Numbers aside, this paint a picture of what living in Nyon is really like. You’ll hear a mix of languages everywhere, in cafés, at the market, and on the train. This town thrives on its multicultural identity. Change is constant. People come and go for work, study, and new adventures. If you’re new here, don’t worry, you’re not the only one figuring things out! More people are putting down roots. With naturalisations nearly doubling since 2020, it’s clear that many who arrive in Nyon choose to stay for the long haul. The next generation is growing up here. With over 1,600 kids under 16, it’s a place where families build a future. So if you’re just passing through for a couple of years or looking to settle in, Nyon remains a dynamic place full of opportunity, culture, and community. These stats are just a snapshot in time, and they’ll shift again in the months and years ahead. Are you one of Nyon’s newest residents? What’s been your favorite discovery so far? Drop us a message, we’d love to hear!

Imagine a bright, welcoming space filled with rows of beautifully organised books, creating an atmosphere that feels more like a trendy bookstore than a traditional secondhand shop. Now, step into La Bouquinerie , the fresh face of secondhand bookstores, located on the platform of Gland train station. Karine, one of the founders, shared how La Bouquinerie came into existence and their vision. This incredible transformation from the old CFF office into a literary haven was born out of a passion project by a dedicated committee of five driven individuals plus volunteers. They translated their vision into a reality within just three months, opening their doors to the public on September 6th 2023. A Haven for Book Lovers La Bouquinerie has a simple yet impactful mission: to provide a platform where readers and book enthusiasts can find quality literature at incredibly reasonable prices. The bookstore accepts book donations from the public, which are then carefully sorted to ensure high-quality offerings. Prices for the books start as low as CHF 1 and range up to CHF 6, making them very affordable. While the majority of books are in French, La Bouquinerie also dedicates shelves to titles in English, German, and Spanish and other languages. They have plans to expand their selection of foreign language books as well as having specific days dedicated to books in each language in the future. Non-fiction titles are also available, in limited quantities, covering various topics like travel, biographies, and health. More Than Just a Bookstore La Bouquinerie is more than just a bookstore; it's a community hub. The committee and growing team of volunteers are always eager to welcome visitors and make their experience memorable. The shop currently operates four days a week, with plans to expand based on volunteer availability. The goal is to always have two volunteers present during operating hours. Their commitment to sustainability is reflected in every aspect of the bookstore. From the secondhand bookshelves to the repurposed rug, they've crafted a space that's not only eco-friendly but has a modern and inviting atmosphere. Unlike traditional secondhand bookstores, its bright and contemporary look changes the stereotypical image of dusty, old bookshops. A Place for Creativity and Learning Looking ahead, La Bouquinerie aims to offer a space for creativity and learning. A smaller room within the store will soon host workshops, where adults and children can explore various art forms. These workshops will focus on paper-based crafts and recycling projects, showing that books don't have to be discarded once they've been read. Even books too old to sell can be transformed into beautiful objects. It's all about demonstrating the value of sustainability and durability. In addition to workshops, they are also open to hosting various events in the space. They hope to collaborate with the English-speaking community in particular, providing a venue for language exchanges and other gatherings. Ultimately, they aim to create a hub that contributes positively to the community. A place where people can gather, learn, and create. Get Involved La Bouquinerie welcomes book donations, emphasizing the importance of good quality books. Those that don't meet the selling criteria are either given away or repurposed. La Bouquinerie invites you to join them as they're actively seeking volunteers to support their operations and expand their opening hours. As an annual subscriber to the "Les Amis de la Bouquinerie" association, you'll contribute to the growth of this literary gem. Subscription rates are CHF 30 per year or CHF 50 per year per couple or family. Opening Hours Wednesday: 15:00 – 19:00 Thursday: 09:00 – 12:00 / 15:00 - 19:00 Friday: 15:00 – 19:00 Saturday: 09:00 – 12:00 La Bouquinerie is more than just a bookstore; it's a community-driven initiative with a passion for books and sustainability. Whether you're a book lover, an advocate for sustainability, or simply looking for a cozy spot to wait for your train - consider paying them a visit, donating your books, or becoming a member to support their mission.
