The Weekend Getaway to Ticino (Tessin)
As far as I remember I always loved to take the route du Lac, but you need to do it when you have time which permits you to appreciate it.
And the long week-end will let you so.
This time our destination was Ticino (Tessin), the Italian paradise on the Swiss earth. We heard so much good things about this place and the kindness of the people living there.
And as I always say the people have tendency to drive or fly on the other side of the globe to discover some exceptional places on earth, and they omit the beauty which is hidden just around the corner....

And not to be missed today The climax of the summer celebrations of the Fêtes de Genève. Amazing fireworks show that can be watched from the lake shores from 10 pm. Possibilities to get a front seat view are available with paid options and from boats on the lake. All our pictures done by us

We discovered this jewel on one July morning run from our office in old town going through botanic garden up of the “Chemin de l'Impératrice” as we wanted to trace the triathlon tracks.
And we were dazzled with the stunning look of park, view on the lake with the mountain in background and of course the building.
Studying a bit its history we learned the first fortification were there already in XIV century and after from this date the castle was passing through the centuries in hands of important Swiss families starting from family de Visencier from the Gex country, in XVI century the Sacconay inherited the domain and since 1650, when one of the Sacconay got married to Lord of Penthaz Jean-Antoine de Charrière, the domain got its name which remains up to nowadays: . Hosting today the following institutions
The interesting thing is that the Chemin de l'Impératrice took its roots from the fact that in 1811 Josephine former Empress the wife of Napoleon Buonaparte was living in the Pregny-la-Tour Castle, which we can easily observe from the Penthes, today occupied by Permanent Mission of Italy, and painted from the park of Penthes by François Didey in1841.
The same painting was offered to Museum by the Association of Swiss Friends of Versailles

Nous avons découvert ce bijou d'un matin de juillet en courant depuis notre bureau de la vieille ville en traversant le jardin botanique et montant le chemin de l'Impératrice car nous voulions tracer les pistes de triathlon.
Et nous étions éblouis par le magnifique apparence du parc, vue sur le lac avec la montagne en arrière-plan et bien sur le bâtiment.
En étudiant un peu, son histoire, nous avons appris que la première fortification était déjà là au XIVe siècle et après cette date, le château traversait les siècles dans les mains de grandes familles suisses à partir de Visencier de pays de Gex Sacconay et depuis 1650, lorsqu'une dame de De Sacconay épousa le Seigneur de Penthaz Jean-Antoine de Charrière, le domaine obtiens son nom qui reste jusqu'à aujourd’hui : .
En accueillant aujourd'hui les institutions suivantes # café et
Tandis que le Chemin de l'Impératrice a pris ses racines dans le séjour de Joséphine ancienne impératrice, l'épouse de Napoléon Buonaparte qui habite dans le château Pregny-la-Tour en 1811, qu’aujourd’hui demeure la résidence de la Mission Permanente d’Italie. Le même château était peint par François Didey en 1841 depuis le domaine de Penthes en 1841, ensuite le même tableau était offert au Musée par l’Association des Amies Suisses de Versailles # Edilinegeneva

Why do we celebrate the Swiss National Day on 1st August?
In 1291, Emperor Rudolf I (the first member of the Habsburg family to be emperor) tries to re-establish Habsburg authority over the Waldstätten (Forest’s countries).

Knowing that the Waldstätten were already allied during the XIII century well before 1291 between Uri, Schwytz and Nidwald, signing an agreement of mutual assistance in case of external threats.

After the Emperor's death on 15 July 1291, Uri, Schwytz and Nidwald later joined by Obwald decided to renew their union and sign a pact at the beginning of August. It is the oldest written agreement between the future cantons that has been preserved: it is therefore it will be remembered later as the founding act of Confederation. The document is nowadays preserved in Schwyz.
But it was only in 1891, on the 600th anniversary of Confederation, that the 1st of August was chosen as the date for the Swiss national holiday.

The “Rendez-Vous du Lac” replaces last year event “Escale”
From 17th to 30th July, the Geneva audience will rediscover the wooden settings that marked last year pop up space called “Escale”, on the lower right bank quay.
This year event under the new name The Rendez-Vous du Lac, will be held for 14 days on the Mont Blanc Marchant Quay from the bottom of the right quay between the Hotel d’Angleterre and the Baths of the Pâquis. This Open space with free access will propose large choice of restoration points, lounge areas and a music scene.
Back to memories from last year of Escales: A few meters from the waves, children challenged or the giant chess or Power 4 games. Surrounded by palm trees, their parents could lounge around the harbour and listen live music by local artists or dance in front of DJ.
The place of relaxation and culture set up during the summer days at the foot of Mont Blanc by the city of Geneva last year and Geneva Tourism this year, is returning onMonday 17th July, not to be missed.

The On women's running tights are simply one on the best tights I have run with.I love the reflective running compression pattern and special stitching which envelopes the knee like a spider's web, giving more elasticity around the knees.
On top of this, the reflective panels have real purpose helping to be seen during night training runs around the city. A very nice idea.

You can immediately feel that the tight has been designed to hug your legs and waist, with its soft and super-stretchy blend material makes them feel like nothing else. The extra-wide stretchable waistband also helps improves your aerodynamic silhouette.
The cut and construction of the Tank-T ladies running vest top cannot be lighter, which makes you feel like you have anything on and no constraints... It feels like the top you want to run fast in, the choice for race day for sure.

On women's running apparel
Both pieces of the women's running apparel from On that I tested are designed to be light and aerodynamic for easy running.
We tested both the men's and women's On Cloudflow racer trainer shoes where we would be using them - around Geneva's Old Town cobbled streets in preparation for the Escalade and along the shores of the lake.
