Last but by no means least, the “Eveil culturel et artistique de la petite enfance” of the City of Geneva has published a book entitled «La ville à petits pas» where they have collected 58 urban family walks through the city that are suitable for children aged 0-4.
Your little explorers will be on the hunt for special landmarks and colourful sights around town, as well as listen attentively to the song of birds…what better way to discover all the beautiful hidden treasure of this city we now call home?
The Book «La ville à petits pas» will be distributed in all the Institutions de la petite enfance (IPE) funded by the Ville de Genève but can also be purchased from various bookshops in Geneva (more info here).
