Versoix




Switzerland, officially the Swiss Confederation, is a landlocked Alpine country in Central Europe. The country, which borders Germany to the north, France to the west, Italy to the south, and Austria and Liechtenstein to the east, was historically a confederation, and has been a federation since 1848. Switzerland is a federation of relatively autonomous cantons, some of which have a history of confederacy that goes back more than 700 years, arguably putting them among the world's oldest surviving republics. With an area of 41,285 square kilometres, Switzerland is a relatively small country. Switzerland comprises three basic topographical areas namely the Swiss Alps, the Swiss plateau, and the Jura mountains. Switzerland has four official languages namely German, French, Italian and Romansh.
 
Versoix is a small town in the Canton of Geneva, Switzerland, which sits on the right bank of Lake Geneva. It is the last town of the Canton of Geneva, before the Canton of Vaud starts. It is a train stop on the CFF railway line running between Nyon and Geneva. On the Vaud side, the next village is called Mies. The distance from the centre of Geneva is about 10 kilometers and it takes around 15 minutes by train or car to get into town.
 
Versoix is enriched in the arts and culture. It is the hub for many humanitarian organizations and other organizations within the environmental, science and technology fields.
