Geneva Family Diaries is a blog and website for expat families living in the Geneva region (Geneva, neighbouring France and Nyon, Canton Vaud). We blog about our family adventures in this amazing corner of Switzerland & we strive to tell you about the best child-friendly places, restaurants and events that you can enjoy with your little ones. We hope you will also share your expat stories and tips with us.
But this is not all. This website is for all parents and couples who still want to have fun when the kids are safe at home with their favourite baby-sitter. We all need a fun night-out with our better halves every now and again, so we will also tell you about our favourite restaurants, bars and music venues, which you can enjoy on a much-deserved date night!
Our posts are not sponsored: while we won’t do any negative reviews, we can guarantee you will hear us rave about all the places we love, so you can rest assured that our recommendations are always genuine and come from the heart.
Should we decide to publish any sponsored or affiliated posts in the future we will always state it clearly to avoid any confusion.
