Come experience “Noël au Quai,” Geneva’s most majestic Christmas Market.
Once again this year, it will light up the Quai du Mont-Blanc, right on the lakefront and just across from Beau-Rivage Genève.
Choose your Christmas gifts from the wide selection of local craftsmen and women, enjoy lunch at the food stalls open every day, and entertain your children with the wide-ranging program to be discovered on the site.
