Fête de l’Escalade: a festive tradition!
The Fête de l’Escalade is a joyous and colourful celebration of Geneva’s victory over the troops of the Duke of Savoy in 1602! Savoy attempted a surprise attack to take the city, but the valiant Genevois, led by the legendary Mère Royaume and her scalding soup, bravely repelled the invaders. Every year, the locals celebrate this heroic victory by smashing chocolate pots filled with marzipan vegetables and parading through the streets in period costumes.
