How do I get there ?
- To Grand-Saconnex : (map)
- By car: quit highway at Grand-Saconnex / Ferney and follow Grand-Saconnex. At the 5th traffic lights (small "Migros" shop on the right), turn left and follow
the "Route de Colovrex" for 300m and there you are. Look on the map for the parkings. Behind the town hall ("Délice") or under the school ("Mairie").
No car can park in front of the hall but the couple's car. !!!
- By train and bus: railway station Geneva-Cornavin(CFF)
then bus line 5 (TPG) direction Palexpo until "Grand-Saconnex Place"
and finally 300m on foot.

("rue des Murs", then "rue de la Gare"), pass in front of the castle and 100m after, turn left on the parking.
!!! no car can stop in front of the castle gate !!!
- From the highway: quit at "Coppet", and follow that direction. You will pass automatically in front of the castle
- By train: local train, stop "Coppet" (CFF).
Follow the street down to the lake about 300m.
Why these places ?
- The first idea was to combine our two places of origin: Gland and Grand-Saconnex, for the ceremony and the celebration.
- Because of some organisation constraints, and preferences, we chose Grand-Saconnex for the ceremony, and Coppet, situated between both towns,
with a beautiful castle for a wedding celebration.
No religious ceremony ?
- We are non-believers, so doing it just for the beauty of it was not to our liking.
- We are sorry for our parents who would have loved one. But they can rest reassured, the event will not mean less because of this.
How must I dressr ?
- Everybody does as it pleases him… J
Where does the idea of the drawings come from ?
- They are freely adapted from drawings of the comic's creator André Franquin: "The Tifous" (literally the crazy hairs).
- Nathalie made them.
Is there a wedding list ?
- Not in the classical way. There is a collect for our honeymoon in Australia.
- Click here for the first draft.
That's nice but how can I contribute ?
- Either on a special Swiss postal account at CCP(Post) 17-120830-1, (Cambon Nathalie et Cuperus Johan, 1400 Yverdon-les-Bains /
mention "Mariage").
- Either on the day itself, there will be a "collect-suitcase".
And for the children ?
- The town hall and the greenhouse are situated in parks, so they can play outside.
- For the evening, a small side room can receive a few children's beds and will be equiped with a DVD/TV set with animation movies.
- A special table and an according meal is organised, depending on the number of answers.
Who are the Witnesses ?
- For Nathalie, it is Caroline
- For Johan, it is Roland
- For all ideas for animations before or during the evening, they are the people to contact.
- A DJ will animate the musical part of the evening. If you desire a spécific music, you can ask him.
And other addresses ?
If I only come for the drink, must I confirm my presence ?
- It is not always easy to know long beforehand if you are able to come, but to inform us about your presence or not,
greatly helps the organisation. Thank you very much..

And see you on June the 19!
