Come and discover Christmas at the Quai, Geneva's most majestic Christmas Market.
After its birth in the Parc des Bastions and its magic in the Jardin Anglais, this year it's time for the Quai du Mont-Blanc to shine.
Choose your Christmas gifts from the wide selection of local craftsmen and women, enjoy lunch at the food stalls open every day, and entertain your children with the wide-ranging program to be discovered on the site.
