Celebrating Geneva’s vibrant heartbeat and the stories shaping culture today

Chef Florian Le Bouhec shares his favorite Geneva spots — from his go-to café for inspiration to the cultural discoveries that spark his creativity.
Geneva gave the world the Red Cross, the United Nations, and — as it turns out — the modern comic strip. It's a part of the city's identity that often gets overlooked, but from a 19th-century teacher sketching picture stories by the lake to a new comics museum opening in the works, Geneva's relationship with the ninth art is deeper and more alive than most people realize.
