Riviera contact group
Welcome to the Swiss Riviera!
The Riviera Contact Group is a multicultural, multilingual group made up primarily of partners of Nestlé employees transferred to Switzerland. The RCG was founded to help you and your family to ajust to a new culture and community. While some of us have lived in the region for several years and already know our way around and others may have been here for a few months we are united in welcoming and supporting each other.
Club members organise several activity groups that may help you to know the community while enjoying a new and fun pastime. The current activity groups include :
-
Playgroup (a group for children up to 4 years and accompanied by an adult) meets Monday from 9h30 – 11h30 and Friday mornings 14h30 - 15h00, year round.
-
Mah Jong (Chinese tile game) meets every wednesday afternoon from 14h00 – 17h00, year round.
