A DAY OUT IN BEAUTIFUL GARDENS – JARDINS EN FÊTE

Family things to do Geneva May 2019This lovely open gardens day in the gardens of the beautiful Château de Coppet (a Swiss heritage site) takes place for the 14th time on this weekend. When we explored this event a couple of years ago on a wonderful sunny day, we loved the colourful displays. There was enough space to take a stroller around and there is a pond with chairs where you can hang out, play with the children and take in the scenery.  Drinks and snacks are available and brunch will be served in Le Bistrot de Jardins en fête in the lovely, medieval courtyard of the Château on all three days (11:30-15:00) (two services at 11:00 and 13:00). Great idea for Mother’s Day.

Personal tip: If you go on Sunday, you might be able to pick up your favourite plant at a good price.

OPENING HOURS

Friday, Saturday, Sunday from 10:00-18:00
