Now maybe i'm wrong, but i think even franchisings like H&M or Zara are more expensive in Geneva than in France. Try the Etrembières mall, where you can find every kind of shop, with affordable prices, or go to Annemasse centre, which is full of nice shops! And how could we forget Annecy? Beautiful boutiques for men and women and a breathtaking view... The right place to spend a relaxing day walking around, going shopping of course but also taking nice pictures or just sipping a coffee in front of a landscape made by flowers and little bridges crossing the river. Sooo romantic!
Food: I go once a week to the open air markets, like the Ferney-Voltaire one on saturdays. There are a lot of markets all around Geneva (Divonne-les-Bains is really nice too), but in my opinion FV is the best. Fist of all, you can easily get there by bus (from Cornavin, bus F to Ferney-Gex, stop at Avenue du Jura), the stop is just in front of the market. Second, it's huge and there's EVERYTHING. Clothes, vegetables, knives, sweets, cheese, music, paella, chicken etc... But, if you like fish this place is like heaven... You can buy fish and seafood and take it away, or you can eat there. They have a wide choice of oysters, gambas, sea urchins and other things cooked or "nature", they give you white wine and the aperitif is ready! Of course this is not a restaurant but just a well organized market, so do not expect a chic location or a romantic lunch... But I promise, food is amazing! And if we want to talk about prices, you will never find a restaurant where you eat that much and pay 40€ per head ( this is the max i've ever paid there, and i really eat a lot every time :D )
What else?!? Have a good smart shopping!
