Date & Venue

From 13 to 20 April 2024 in Lausanne.

Location tbc, but probably in the greater Lausanne at this stage <ǃ--- House is located at Route de Lausanne 107, Bourg-en-Lavaux [1]. ---->

Getting there by plane

Landing at Geneva airport, there is a train station next to the arrivals. All trains go to Geneva Central, then most continue onwards to Lausanne (about one every 15').

Getting there by train

From Geneva, Geneva airport, or Zurich: go to Lausanne and then take a local train to Cully (every 10-20'; 11 min ride) or Villette (every hour; 8' ride). The house will be a 15' (or 10' from Villette) walk away along the main road.
