We caught up with the organizer La Vie En Mieux, Laurent Geinoz, and wanted to find out more to pass along to our readers. There is still space left if you are interested in participating... in any case, mark your calendars now and bring your friends and family on the weekend of the 19-20 October 2024 being held in Morges.
Why did you start? What has been the inspiration?
La Vie En Mieux is a concept centered around well-being in all its forms. Health, good humor, fun, art, decoration, sharing, meetings... in short... everything that makes life beautiful every day. Our goal is to support everything that is done in Romandie and to energize our beautiful region.
Have you been working on this idea forever, or was it something that came to you recently?
We already held this event last year, but following the success we had, we decided this year to think bigger with more than a hundred stands, concerts, conferences and lots of other activities and all this for free.
What is the biggest obstacle you have had to overcome?
It took us 1 year to prepare this event and it is complicated to offer such an infrastructure completely free for visitors, without asking exorbitant prices for exhibitors. Budget management is, therefore, one of the key points for this celebration to be a success.
What are your plans for the future?
We already have some ideas for next year, but it's a little early to talk about them. But our goal is to continue to support artists, artisans, local producers, small and independent businesses in French-speaking Switzerland.
What is your favorite product you offer and why?
We are proud to be able to offer a competition for visitors with a 5-day stay for 2 people in Sri Lanka and a super raffle with 2,000 prizes to be won (each ticket is a winner), the first prize of which is a 10-day stay in a superb, comfortable apartment in the Philippines!
Enter their competition to win 5 days for 2 half board in Sri Lanka. See image below.
