The mini-metropolis with the beating heart
 This, the smallest metropolis in the world, is characterised by its international population. They are there for many reasons, from cultural activities to humanitarian commitments. The region opens the door to four worlds, which are closely linked yet strikingly different. Gently sloping vineyards border the shores of the lake, cities are at he
foot of highest Alpine peaks, lively towns and small wine-growing villages appear scattered at random – the region seems half dream and half reality! In this quiet Valle de Joux, nature remains unspoiled and the region with its lush pastures, chalet villages, mountain peaks and glaciers – as well as sunny ledges are ready-made for a relaxed vacation and sporting adventures.It is a pleasure to stroll within the city limits, along the shores of the lake with its famous water jet or up into the Old Town.
This is also the European HQ of the United Nations and the home of the Red Cross. The town is situated in an unspoilt natural landscape yet it is still a pleasure to stroll within the city limits, along the shores of the lake with its famous water jet or up into the Old Town. Once night falls on the town, there is nothing more to prevent its multi-cultural life from awakening. And when they start to enjoy themselves, you feel that you are nearly in France.
