About this audio guide
This guide to the Plaine de Plainpalais in Geneva centers on the market that fills the square three mornings a week, where grandmothers hunting Vacherin Mont d'Or work the same stalls as Sri Lankan curry cooks and Lebanese mezze vendors. You will hear what locals count as they walk in among the crowd, and why the tally is easy to lose track of. It traces the square's turn from market-garden land into one of Geneva's most diverse gathering spots. Best heard on a Sunday morning, cheese in one hand, curry in the other.
