Lake Geneva region, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – The traffic was light at the end of the afternoon, with many people leaving work early to head for other parts of Switzerland for the national holiday, 1 August. Paleo has ended (read GL’s final day review), Geneva is gearing up for its Fetes de Geneve which starts Friday. Some towns in the region are celebrating with bonfires and fireworks Tuesday night while most are preparing for a party Wednesday evening.
GenevaLunch is taking a day off, but we’ll be here long enough Wednesday morning to share a few photos and remind you what the First of August is all about.
