Instead of grilling hotdogs or watching fireworks, Instead of grilling hotdogs or watching fireworks, I spent the 4th of July taking the Fide exam. The Fide exam is Switzerland’s official language test that assesses your level in one of three national languages, dependent on the region you live in, either German, Italian, or in my case, French. For Swiss nationality, the cantons of Geneva and Vaud require B1 (speaking) and A2 (writing). The test is broken up into three components: 20 minutes of speaking, 20 minutes of listening, and a 60-minute written exam. The total cost for the full exam is CHF 250, which you can also take only one part (CHF 170 for the speaking component or CHF 120 for the written assessment). Registration for the Fide exam may be found directly at: https://switzerlangues.ch/en/fide-registration/

@odeon.brasserie keeps the menu to the essentials: @odeon.brasserie keeps the menu to the essentials: frog legs, snails, and sardines. Geneva was sweltering under a historic June heatwave—36°C without air conditioning in a country famously reluctant to embrace it. Our apartment felt warmer than the street, making dinner on a shaded terrace less of a luxury than a survival strategy. L'Odéon has earned a spot in my Geneva favorites, perhaps because it doesn't need to try to impress. A spot to save for your next trip to Geneva 🐌 Address: Bd de Saint-Georges 60, 1205 Genève

Travel along
