Rediscover the lake, sail and swim away from the summer crowds, swim in Lake Geneva in more remote corners, in this sumptuous setting... Next to the jet d'eau, Les Corsaires offers both sailboat and motorboat rentals, with or without a license. You can rent a boat and go for a swim in the middle of the lake. But before you launch out on a surprise or a YngLing, it's advisable to get your license. Don't worry, Les Corsaires also offers a sailing school for both sailboats and motorboats.

No need to be an artist to take pleasure in this ceramic painting workshop. Children for 6 years (and adults) choose a motif and then décalquent on one of the many items proposed. It's only possible to paint it with the help of the team's wise advice, clog and finally cook it. All for CHF 6 per hour per child, plus the price of the object. The principle is the same for the anniversaries that can be organized there, if it is only the children create with sweets and drink from syrup, in a workshop decorated for the occasion  !

An excellent idea for a family outing.

As in the Grand-Saconnex district, an ephemeral skating rink has been set up in the heart of Carouge, starting in November.

It's back every winter, a great outdoor activity; excellent for children.

The Vernets ice rink is the largest in Geneva and home to the famous Servette Hockey Club.

So come and practise your sliding to music, and keep the tempo so you don't fall off! Alternatively, as a spectator, opt for the ice karting races or a field hockey match.
