Country cottages will form the village of the “International Market of Christmas in Geneva” with worldwide
craftsmen offering traditional and original gifts.
8-10 December, Geneva interrupts its pre-Christmas festivities for a different kind of celebration:
L'Escalade, a festival that celebrates the city's victory over the Duke of Savoy's invading troops in 1602.
Watch a 17thC parade, smash chocolate soup pots, and give coins to costumed children during Geneva's annual
celebration.
