Neighbourhood walk in Les Pâquis: three places where people borrow instead of buying

A guided walk in Les Pâquis on Wednesday 18 November, 5pm to 7.30pm, to meet three local associations built on reuse and sharing.

A drill for the weekend, an outfit for an evening out, a camera for a project: in Les Pâquis, there's no need to head to the checkout. Behind the façades, a whole neighbourhood has got into the habit of borrowing, swapping and reusing.

On an early-evening walk, step inside three places that bring this idea to life every day. At the Bureau culturel, local artists find cameras, microphones and design software for their projects. At Histoire sans chute, clothes and fabrics get a second life. At La Manivelle, a library of things lends out everyday equipment.

Along the way, your guide points out the historic landmarks of Les Pâquis, the ones people pass every day without noticing. The evening ends with an aperitif in the neighbourhood.

Meeting point at 5pm at the Bureau culturel, rue de Berne 63. Walk of about 500 m, easy. Tour in French. Ages 14 and over, 25 places. Advance registration required until 17 November at https://tcsge-shop.ch/product/balade-de-quartier_paquis/
