I thought it would be useful if we put together a thread listing all large employers headquartered in the Lake Geneva region which employ English speakers who do not speak French. I'll add details from Wikipedia etc. when I have time:

Nestle (Lausanne)
World Trade Organisation (Geneva)
ICRC (Red Cross) (Geneva)

Im clearly missing the relevance of this thread to a cycling forum. (Not trolling, genuinely intrigued)

Nestle would be perfect. Live in France across the lake near Evian. Then could buy an affordable farmhouse, and commute by ferry daily across to Vevy 8)

Mrs Norris is a Trademark Attorney so thats our plan 1 day.

There's one problem freeridenick, there isn't a direct ferry from Evian to Vevey I'm afraid..

I can see why the idea would be attractive though:

Here's some more companies for the list:
Salesforce
Yahoo!
British American Tobacco
Philip Morris
International Olympic Committee (and pretty much every other sports organisation)
