CARS

Rent a car in Switzerland

Recommendations are to rent a car in the country you will be staying to reduce problems crossing the border

At Cern : Cern cars with Cern logo are not any more available unless you sublet one from another group. Cern cars are usually always booked far in advance (3 months), no obligation of full a year rental. Hertz cars are also available at Cern contacting the transport department :

You can also contact http://www.patricklocation.ch/ which is usually cheaper than normal rate (from 540 chf per month)

In France If you live in France, you need to take your car insurance in France. You will need to get a 2 year certificate of "good driver" to get cheap prices.

TCS also offers a travel insurance that included repatriation of cars, emergency medical repatriation and trip cancelation http://www.tcs.ch/main/fr/home.html

BANK

US and canadian citizens can only open a bank account at UBS if they live in Switzerland for long term and have gone to the OCP, office cantonal de la population to declare themselfs as living in Switzerland, in any cases they will have to go to the main offices of UBS rue du Rhone in Geneva, they can also get in touch with Mr Mangio at UBS CERN to get more informations : 022 783 21 87. They can still open a bank account at the postfinance at Cern but can't make a security deposit for apartments there.

For France I strongly advise the LCL, credit Lyonnais in St Genis Pouilly or in Ferney which has special rates with no taxes for coming dollars and a very good offer for students at 1 euros for the credit card and the account opening for the 1st year.

HEALTH

List of doctors in France and in Switzerland

Emergencies France

If you have an accident or a health problem AT CERN, please contact immediately the infirmary 73802 or mobile phone 163438, there you will see a doctor and he/she eventually will call an ambulance if necessary.

If you can manage to see a doctor or even have an X-ray on your own, we strongly recommend that you go to France, St genis Pouilly or also Ferney Voltaire. It will cost you around 50 euros for leg X-ray and 22 euros for a visit to the doctor.

The cost in Switzerland is around 300 CHF for both X-ray and doctor visit at the Hospital de la Tour

Be very carefull that you may have to pay the total amount of your bill before leaving the Hospital in Switzerland, and the amount can be huge, the only insurance known by hospitals here are CIGNA and BLUE CROSS, for all the rest the patient will have to pay himself and be paid back after by his insurance For example, for an appendecity, recently patients were asked to pay over 20 000 dollars before leaving the Hospital ! you must look into travel insurance not only to guarantee entry but also the ability to leave the Hospital.

PAYING YOUR INVOICES

FRENCH CLASSES

For adults

CERN offers French lessons for users from rank beginners on up. The courses are offered three times per year (but the summer course is for beginners only). The courses fill up, so register early. Contact Nathalie Dumeaux in Human Resources to sign up. The cost (Fall 2007 for 60hrs total) is 780CHF and the class meets three times/week for two hours.

In addition, Geneva is a very international city and there are many places to take French lessons outside of CERN (Berlitz and Ecole-club Migros, Ipage).

For children

In Ferney Voltaire http://www.thelanguagecenter.fr/

CHILDREN

- SCHOOLS

France

Depending on the city where you live your child will automatically be enrolled for free in the public school of your town when he/she turns 3 during the civil year, all the classes will be in french but there are always some US or British people in the classrooms.

In Ferney Voltaire, the Lycee International has special agreement with Cern, admitting your child automatically in a class, level based on exams to take once you arrive.

In Gex, the private school Jeanne d'Arc is also very good, not very expansive, with a Bi-langues section from 12 years old.

Switzerland

All the Swiss schools are free and will take your children even in the middle of a school year.

:

General information about schooling in Geneva can be found on the official city website where you will find links to both public and private schools : http://www.cagi.ch/en/Classes_accueil_Geneve.htm

There are also many private schools which are quite expansive in Geneva, most of them allow entry regardless of whether you reside in Switzerland or France.

International School of Geneva has three independent campuses. They will admit your child based on availability of space. It is expensive (as are all the private schools) : http://www.ecolint.ch/ecolint/ch/FR-CH/index.cfm

- CHILDCARE FOR CHILDREN UNDER 3

You have several solutions to look after your young child who still do not go to school, before 3 in France and before 4 in Switzerland.

1)Whether having a nany at home, you will find many offers in the various supermarkets of your town for nanies coming to your place.

2)Or bringing your child to the house of an "agreed nany" (assistante maternelle agrée in french), you will find the official list of those ladies at the city hall of your town residence.

1)A french family, even working in Switzerland, having his baby with an "assistante maternelle agree" does not pay any charges as the "Pajemploi" association is paying for her the various additional taxes over the salary of the nanny.

2)A foreign family, living in France and working in Switzerland can't have the Pajemploi help but can have a taxes credit of 1150 euros per year, the money is given back by the government 1 year after the income tax declaration even if they have no income taxed in France AND the family can have another help from an association called ADI linked to the CAF (caisse d'allocations familiales in France), special help for foreign families living in France and working abroad, I don't know yet the amount and you must fill in all the form for the CAF asking precisely for this help ADI : http://www.caf.fr/pdfj/pajecmg0.pdf

If you want to declare the nanny to the government you may have some aditional taxes of 80% of the salary so be careful, come to see me before signing any contract for childcare, french citizens have help from the government to pay those taxes but most of the foreigners don't, the only help you have is a Tax refund after 1 year of maximum 1250 euros per year per child

The rates per month are between 600 and 700 euros on an average base for a full time.

3)Bringing your child to a "creche", Cern has one but only for children more than 3 year old, you can also try 2 inernational creches in St Genis Pouilly in France: "le jardin de Zebulon": http://www.lejardindezebulon.com/ "le Jardin de Capucine" : http://www.lejardindecapucine.com/
