This day is a very old tradition, its origin dates back to the 16th century. It is celebrated in the Canton of Geneva, and it is celebrated in the best possible way, enjoying a delicious dessert, a plum tart (tarte aux pruneaux in French).
Concha’s boys approve of this delicacy!
Many thanks to all the kitchen staff for preparing it with so much love.
Great day for Concha’s kids, today was Jeûne Genovois and as it is a bank holiday in the Canton of Geneva we went to visit the Olympic Museum of Lausanne, a really marvelous place!
We were able to learn and play at the same time, amazing, isn’t it?
We show you some pictures so you can see them for yourselves! We like all of them, but we love the last one, which one is your favorite?
