We met Emmanuel Tagnard at the Société de Lecture, where he plays a key role in shaping Geneva’s cultural life. During a relaxed conversation, he shared his personal take on the city — from where he would take a friend visiting Geneva for the first time to his favorite chocolate makers, along with one book he wholeheartedly recommends. An insider’s portrait of Geneva, guided by curiosity and quiet passion.
