GENEVA – buvette on the Jura side of the airport, recommended by Mateo
Annecy is a fantastic little town. The canals and shopping area in OLD TOWN Annecy are fantastic. There's this cookie company we love
and I can't remember name but I WILL and get back to you. It's a great place to have hot chocolate and crepes. In the summer, the lake
front is lovely to rent paddle boats.
Geneva - old town cathedral is great, if you want to visit the UN buildings that's neat...lots of gardens and playgrounds.
Between Geneva and Gruyere - lots to see and do! Chocolate factory in Broc is awesome for kids....Chateau de Chillon
is fantastic for a medievel castle. You might as well go to Montreux the lakeside town if you're hitting the castle.
When you go to Gruyere and see the cheese museum, but sure to go to Moleson area just a few minutes away for
some kiddie fun of summer sledding etc. but also the cheese factory here is smaller/better than the big one b/c it's the
old fashioned way. I'd call both in advance...the cheese one b/c I think it's only a certain time like 10am and the chocolate
factory b/c you can sign up your kids ahead of time for a chocolate making class. This is new and it was full for whe
we were there.
At the one end of Lake Geneva there's the Swiss Vapor Museum and it's great for young kids b/c it takes all
the different types of Swiss trains and makes a little theme park with mini Switzerland chalets/features/buildings
and you can sit on the mini trains adn go around this. Definitely better for younger kids -how old are your kids?
When in Annecy you should find out what day is market day...either in Annecy or Lyon, b/c that's always fun
to see all the fresh fruits/veggies, cheeses, sometimes live chickens...etc.
Gourmand cookie shop in Annecy is fun.

If they go to Megeve, they should eat at either Ferme de Marie (think that's name) if want spend more or they can eat very well at Flocon de Village Tel +33450783501. Make reservation. Excellent food. I've driven there just to eat.
In Megeve, they can do that horse drawn carriage ride...that's always nice for first time experience.
Also, depending on how much time they have, I'd even do day trip over to Lyon if they really want to change it up from mountains to see a "little Paris" in the old town there. I'd highly recommend that--esp if they are spending some other time in Switzerland. It's less than 2 hours to get there and they can get an amazing meal there & if they time it right, go to a market.
If they are in Geneva on weekend, go to Divonne market on Sunday or Ferney market on Saturday. Divonne a lot nicer.
In Geneva, it's pretty much old town walking, fondue--yes, either in Old Town by Wilfred's old place or there is this red tent doing fondue I saw by the Quai Bezanson Hugues (near where they used to have theh ice skating rink set up outside by the river) & of course there is that spot on the Lake that we've eaten fondue at that all the Genevois get fondue at that is super casual and super local, on the water...right there, remember that? You'll have to look it up.
Maybe they can see the watch museum? Is red cross now open up for visits--it had been under renovation for a long while but their museum was quite good when it was open? Is UN open for visits?

Autres suggestions de restaurants: le Vallon à Conches et le Café de Peney à Satigny (ce dernier est le "bistrot" de Châteauvieux). Et pourquoi pas le restaurant de l'Ecole hôtelière?
Quant à ce qu'il faut visiter, je pense que le musée Patek Philippe est intéressant. Et puis visite de l'ONU, du CERN, de la chocolaterie Favarger à Versoix.
Pour le reste, consulter http://www.geneve-
Je confirme tes propositions de Megève et du restaurant de l'Entrecôte.
