Are you familiar with “Cé qu’è lainô”, Mother Kingdom, chocolate cauldrons and the villainous Savoyards attacking Geneva? From 4 December, whether you have just arrived in Geneva or have lived here for decades, Geneva Library invites you to relive the events of that decisive night of 11-12 December 1602. Ah!
