FPG Network

The International Circle is run by more than sixty volunteers from Geneva. Its aim is to welcome the personalities of international Geneva and their spouses, to make their stay as pleasant and rewarding as possible. Through a wide range of activities and events (walks in the heart of the Geneva countryside, world cuisine classes in a private home, cultural outings, visits to international companies, discoveries of the region and much more), the Cercle International helps to forge social links between the local and international communities in a convivial atmosphere.
