Geneva Area Turtle and Tortoise Society

Membership in the Geneva Area Turtle and Tortoise Society is free to everyone interested in these fascinating reptiles, their care as pets, and their survival in the wild. Our free meetings are held on the first Saturday of every month throughout the year. These informal events take place in the homes and gardens of club members around Geneva, Vaud, and nearby France. Discussions are conducted in English and French over generous supplies of snacks and drinks. Visitors are always welcome, so invite interested friends and neighbors to come along. All animal lovers can instantly join the club for free right on the web site, with no obligation. Welcome aboard.
