The InterNations Community of the Geneva Lake Area were exceedingly lucky when they set out for a picknick and a barbecue. Local host Nicolas Duret helped the newcomers at this meeting to discover a more hidden, but indeed wonderful part of lovely Switzerland: the idyllic Vallée de Joux, a beautiful Jura valley in the canton of Vaud. The sun was also smiling upon them for an entire Sunday afternoon in August, and some very courageous members even tried a swim in the mountain lake. For the less daring guests, Ambassador Céline Fressart had come up with the fabulous suggestion to have an international potluck dinner: Each ‚world citizen‘ among the invitees brought along a specialty from their native country – spare ribs and brownies for the USA, a spinach tarte recipe from Argentina, Austrian goulash, cheese and chocolate parfait from Switzerland, and many more. Mmm, delicious!
