New to Geneva

Hi there,


I will be soon transitioning from Canada, Ontario to Geneva. I am French and have 3 kids (9, 7, 4). They are bilingual in English and I would not want them to lose this skill living in a French environment. I heard there is a pretty strong English speaking people community in Switzerland, and wanted to reach out to you to meet up when we settle there. What is the typical location where you guys gather, chat and share a couple of drinks? Seen you soon. Cheers!

That was my bet, to answer your previous post, when it comes to snow, we are pretty much used to it down there, what's nice in your country though is that you can actually ski. No decent mountain for dowmhill skiing in Ontario (No offense to the Ontarians), will be great to ski again in the Alpes next winter.

Hi Frederic,


Do you know where you will be moving?  Geneva city or the La Cote area (Canton Vaud)?


Lots of groups for parents to meet other parents.  I've listed the ones between Geneva & Vaud on www.moms-in-vaud.com (go to links).


Good luck with your move!
