Voltaire's residence at Ferney

Restaurant de la Truite: Don't miss it!
Toshioohsako Says: Its a cheaper restaurant than the neighbor restaurant "Hotel de France" but it has excellent local dishes. The "Truite" means "trout". As it is a trout restaurant, try trout dishes. They are so good. Meat dishes also good and their salad is excellent.

Helpfulness
If you are a bit squeamish about your food, then you may find the French markets a little disturbing. Fresh geese and ducks unplucked, cheeses with furry mould that stands up an inch high, and strange looking salami-type sausages abound. Food handling gloves and tongs are generally unheard of.
Despite the hairy looking cheeses, noone ever gets sick from eating anything they bought from there, but it can be a bit of a shock to visitors from more... delicate.. food backgrounds. My advice: be brave and give them a try!

L'Orgue du temple de Ferney-Voltaire
Klod5 Says: Concevoir un orgue de petite dimension est toujours un exercice difficile ; dans le choix des jeux, d'autant plus délicat qu'ils sont en nombre restreint, il faut opter pour l'essentiel par rapport à l'accessoire, ce qui obéit déjà à des critères très subjectifs.Dans le cas...
