Auberge du Lion d'Or

Hold on, wait a minute, what do you mean "Ferme"? The Auberge de Celigny, and the first on the list of 43 communale auberges in Canton Geneva that we plan to visit each Thursday for the next year, is closed. The first night of "Le Tour" starts badly.

The plan was to start on the northern most commune on the rive droit and make our way anti-clockwise around the lake, taking in all the communes on the way. Celigny, being so far north that it is actually in canton Vaud, was the first up, but due to the aforementioned closure (we had to choose the one week it was closed then not call and try and make a reservation) we needed a hasty backup. Thankfully the neighboring commune (if we just ignore the little stretch of Vaud) is Versoix, home of the Auberge du Lion d'Or. Phew! Disaster averted.

Vava being Vava, pulled a Vava and didn't turn up, leaving Mario, Luigi and Peaches to enjoy our brewed aperitif while poring over the menu...
