It seems Geneva will be losing a little local landmark.
The independent record shop – Disco Club – has been on the Terreaux-du-Temple since 1958.
It’s been run for the last 30 years by Philippe Munger, but he’s now 70 and is retiring.
But it seems no one wants to take over an old-style record shop - which does now sell CDs and DVDs.
The shop will close its doors for good at the end of the month. Music lovers may be able to pick up a bargain as the stock is now being sold off.
