Dear all,

Did you know that Geneva once faced a night full of bravery? In the Champs des Bois, we shared the following story with the our little kings, and they loved it!

Over 400 years ago, in December 1602, soldiers tried to invade Geneva, but the brave citizens fought back. Legend says a woman called Mère Royaume helped defend the city by throwing a pot of hot soup at the invaders, waking everyone to protect their home.

Every year, we celebrate this heroic night with costumes, parades, and the famous chocolate cauldron. This year, we got to smash one ourselves—and let’s be honest, breaking it to eat the chocolate was our favorite part!

The Escalade is a special way to remember Geneva’s courage and unity—made even sweeter with chocolate and Donny leading the attack to the cauldron! 🍫
