if you're in Geneva on the 10 and 11 December, there's some interesting things happening, around the "climbing" celebration.
On the 10, the Geneva's choir will sing some songs about it (Auditoire Calvin) and on the 11th, the 1602 company will have its great historic procession (800 people, 60 horses) It's the thing to see in Geneva !!!! you can have a look at their flyer : http://www.1602.ch/images/PDF/flyeranglais.pdf
and if you don't know what is the *Escalade* (climbing)...

by the way, the chocolate pot you see is what we eat on that day (even if you can find it now in shops...)
