The town of Carouge is extending a discount scheme to everyone.
Residents first were given the opportunity to buy vouchers from 20 to 500 francs. Use of a voucher gives an automatic discount of 20%.
But the town says there’s enough remaining the budget to offer the voucher to anyone.
The aim is to help local businesses and attract more people to explore the unique shops lining the Carouge streets.
The vouchers are available online at carouge.ch or at the town hall.
