The Night is Beautiful

Wednesday, 20 September 2023 06:30

The Night is Beautiful. For the fourth time, this Friday all the lights in Geneva will be switched off to allow us to see the night sky.

Most of the communes in the canton will take part as well as some others in Vaud and neighbouring France.

There’ll be more than 80 activities across the region, including night walks, moth and bat spotting and star gazing.

There’s also a theme of ‘let’s stay visible’, designed to make sure pedestrians and cyclists stay safe in the dark.

All the details are on the website – lanuitestbelle.org
