The municipality of Neydens will participate in the event "La nuit est belle", a campaign dedicated to raising awareness for the preservation of nocturnal heritage in the Grand Genève region. During the weekend of October 9th to 11th, a light extinction will be observed, with normal lighting resuming on October 12th.
Titled "Along the Water, Let's Explore the Night's Riches", this edition will highlight aquatic environments and the nocturnal landscapes they shape. Water will serve as an entry point to address the challenges of preserving nocturnal biodiversity, particularly along waterways.
The event will explore territories through varied and sensitive pathways, ranging from the Rhône to Lake Geneva (Léman), from the junction with the Arve to the confluence with the Saône, and extending to Mediterranean landscapes.
