La Barje des Sciences

Geneva


At this dreamy summertime sister-venue of La Barje des Lavandières near the lakefront in Parc Moynier, just above Parc de la Perle du Lac, you can nibble on tapas and sip drinks until sundown, then dance the evening away to the sound of DJs or live music on the outdoor terrace; with part-proceeds creating projects helping young people in need.
