Traditions

In August each year, the Rive quarter in Nyon plays host to lovers of second-hand goods and antiques. For more than 25 years, traders from all four corners of Switzerland have exhibited objects from the past as rare as they are unusual.

To the drone of alphorns, the crack of whips, the beat of folk music and the dexterity of flag throwers, herdsmen and about ten herds of cows return to the valley through the village from their summer in the alpine meadows. Various stands, food and drink.
