Exhibition: The Wars of Lake Geneva
2026-06-29 - 2026-09-14 | On the pier
Opening reception on Friday, July 3, at 6 p.m.
With its majestic swans, Belle Époque boats, and elegant luxury hotels, Lake Geneva is today recognized worldwide as a haven of tranquility and a symbol of peace—a reputation further cemented by the founding of the Red Cross and the League of Nations on its shores. It is therefore between the lake and the mountains that people have been coming for a century to restore peace or attempt to preserve it.
Yet this idyllic setting has a darker history. Like many other border and contact zones, Lake Geneva was the scene of armed conflicts for centuries—conflicts that are often forgotten today, fought between political entities that have long since disappeared. From antiquity to the present day, naval battles, sieges, raids, and pillaging have stained these shores with blood—tragedies whose most recent echoes date back just a few decades: despite appearances, peace is never a certainty…

Mamz'elle Oiselle's Barbaroké
2026-06-28 19:00 - 20:00 | On the pier
Offbeat mechanical karaoke and participatory singing on the barrel organ
How about a sing-along by the lake, accompanied by a barrel organ?
Mam’zelle Oiselle sets up her Barbaroké on the Bains des Pâquis pier for two unique evenings: Saturday May 30 at 6pm and Sunday June 28 at 7pm.
On the program: participatory singing, barrel organ and guaranteed fun – all just a stone’s throw from the water!
The principle is simple: you choose a song from the repertoire, get started – alone or with others – and the organ accompanies you. You don’t have to be a professional singer, or even sing well. The main thing is to get going!
Come as you are, sing as you can, and let the magic happen on the pier.
