Getting to the Festival
From Nyon train station, it’s about a 10-minute walk.
Click here to access the map link (with a recommended route).

Description:
Exit Nyon station via the main exit, on the lake side.
If you arrive on Platform 1 (trains coming from Morges, Lausanne, etc.), you can reach the sidewalk directly.
If you arrive on the other platforms, you’ll go through the underpass. A downward ramp provides stair-free access.
At the bottom of the ramp, turn left. You’ll be under a large archway beneath the train tracks.
Just after the archway, you’ll have two options:

On the left, a wide staircase (without a handrail) leads upward.
On the right, an accessible ramp allows you to go up without stairs.
For both routes, cross Place de la Gare using the pedestrian crossing. An audible signal is available to guide you.
Once across, head left and walk for about a minute along the street.
You’ll reach a second pedestrian crossing to cross Avenue Viollier.
This crossing does not have an audible signal.
Once you’ve crossed, continue straight for about 50 meters. The road with traffic is now on your left.
Take the first path on your right – the surface changes to cobblestones.
Follow this cobbled path for about 50 meters, then turn left onto Rue Juste-Olivier. Take the first right, passing the Denner store. Continue straight to the next pedestrian crossing.
This crossing also has no audible signal. Cross Avenue Perdtemps.
After crossing, you’ll pass the Perdtemps parking barrier – watch out for cars exiting.
Keep walking straight ahead.
You’ll soon begin to hear the festival atmosphere: voices, music, and lively movement.

You’ve arrived at the Cour des Marchandises, the festival’s central area.
Staff members are on site to welcome you and assist if needed.
