15 ans déjà pour le Festival stéphanois placé sous le parrainage bienveillant de Léo Ferré en 1989. Deux concerts lui rendront hommage: l’un évoquant l’amour et la mer, le second mettant en valeur la révolte par les mots que traduit aujourd'hui le slam. Outre les têtes d’affiche Anaïs, Louise Attaque, Arthur H ou encore les Têtes raides, l’édition 2006 ne dérogera pas à la tradition en présentant de jeunes talents. A vivre en salles de concert mais également dans la rue puisque pour célébrer son anniversaire le Festival investira le quartier piéton St Jacques situé au milieu de la Ville.

The "Printemps de Pérouges" will celebrate its tenth anniversary in the industrial surroundings of the Plaine de l'Ain. Al Jarreau, Liane Foly  Raphaël and the truculent Marianne James are among the artists invited to bay from the cement-mixers of Ambérieu and at the Bowling alley of Saint-Vulbas. A new setting for a Festival that gained its letters of nobility at the doors of the medieval City of Pérouges.

At more than 1,000 m, we find the "Pearl of the Alps", "Heida" or "Païen", issued from Savagnin Blanc or Traminer. A special wine with a delicate fragrance, particularly of citrus fruits and pears, coming from an exceptional area in Visperterminen. A picturesque village, situated at the foot of the high mountaintops which one can explore alone or in small groups. This summer, several sojourns are proposed by an independent guide: informative wine walk, wine tasting, discovery of the Alps on the route of last century's mountaineers. A total change of scenery in a stunning setting.

The Geneva Museum of Natural History is looking for a small beast. The exposition "Insectissimo" presents the profuse universe of insects until the 24th of September. The exposition, with its shows, models (giants!) and weekly wednesday meetings has been organized by those who have dedicated their lives to the six-legged creatures. To discover out of interest and / or to overcome ones phobias.
