Fête de l’Escalade
10 December 2023
Every year, the Geneva Council of State invites a member of the Federal Council to the Escalade. In 2023, it is the President of the Swiss Confederation.
On the Treille, the Compagnie de 1602 presents him with the Falco cannon, a replica of a 17th-century piece; he fires the last shot of the year. Visit to the cathedral, its towers and the Clémence bell, reception in the salons of the Hôtel de Ville, then a historical procession with the authorities and International Geneva.
