Visa Issue to Geneva.
For all those who are traveling into Geneva through Paris please take a Schengen visa in addition to Switzerland visa. This is because Geneva is partly in France and travel between Paris and Geneva is a domestic travel!! If you do not have a Schengen visa then fly from paris to Zurich and then take the train from zurich to Geneva (a less than 3 hour by train).
This should hopefully finish once switzerland join schengen region by Dec 15th. Now you can fly directly from Paris to Geneve with a Schengen visa.
