Le Jeûne genevois, c’est sacré!

Le Jeûne genevois est un jour férié officiel unique à Genève, le jeudi qui suit le premier dimanche de septembre. A l’origine c’était un jour de pénitence religieuse et patriotique. Aujourd’hui, bien que moins pratiqué de manièere stricte, c’est un jour de repos ou la tradition veut que l’on déguste une tarte aux pruneaux.

Nous avons profité de cette journée de congé pour partir à la découverte de Lausanne, la ville olympique. Notre sortie a commencé par une visite passionnante du Musée Olympique, où les élèves ont pu en apprendre davantage sur l’histoire des Jeux et admirer de nombreuses expositions interactives.

Nous avons ensuite fait une halte incontournable dans le Vieux Lausanne, un quartier charmant où les étudiants ont pris plaisir à flâner dans les ruelles pittoresques et à acheter quelques souvenirs.

Enfin, nous avons terminé l’après-midi en douceur autour d’une délicieuse glace, moment convivial qui a permis à chacun de se détendre et d’échanger.

Une journée agréable, enrichissante et pleine de découvertes !
