20 March 2015 - Payot Bookshop has today opened a brand new book store in the heart of Geneva on the Rue de la Confédération. The store is conveniently situated in the old UBS building, on the corner of the aptly-named, Rue du Commerce.
With 1,800m2 of floor space, the new store replaces the former bookshops on the rue de Marché and Rue Chantepoulet, both of which closed last week.
In addition to offering both francophone and international books, the bright and airy store features a Nature et Découverte shop within the premises, and a welcoming new café called La Semeuse.

Whether you have lived in this region since birth, or have only been resident for a few years, the chances are that at some point in your life you will want to capture a memory of some special corner of Switzerland. For many people, this will be in the form of a painting – but it is often hard to know where best to look, with so many artists available and so much on offer.
Artiswiss is a new type of art gallery, specializing in paintings of the Lac Léman region, from Geneva to Lavaux, and other neighboring areas (Valais, Grisons). Set up a year ago by local artist, Rita Mancesti, Artiswiss is located in Coppet, Vaud, under the ancient arcade at 28b Grand Rue. If you step into the gallery any day between 9h30 and 13h on a Tuesday to Saturday, don’t miss the chance to meet Rita in person, who will be delighted to explain her oil paintings to you – in French, English, German or Italian. Unlike many artists who like to work alone, Rita actually creates her paintings at the gallery, so you can watch her whilst she works in her own studio/atelier. Indeed you don't even need to step into the gallery - you can see her work unfold before your very eyes through the gallery window!
