What is La Société Auguste Fivaz?
Good question. We're not really sure. You could say it's a creative framework… either
way, it’s a great excuse to eat, drink, talk and do things together. If you
have a better idea, let us know…
Who are the members of the Société Auguste Fivaz?
The core honorary membership expands and contracts (doesn’t everything?) to
meet the needs of La Société and its members. A larger group of ‘friends’
expands and contracts even more depending on the project. That’s a lot of
expansion and contraction, we know.
Auguste who? La Société is named after Auguste Fivaz, a Neuchâtel liquor
and absinthe merchant active around 1900. To see his calling card, click here. The correct French pronunciation of his
last name is FEEVAH, without the Z; like "You give me feevah”.

As the months have passed, La Société has ‘met’ a number of characters
whose help has been indispensable.
Auguste Fivaz (see
above)
Dr. Schoop – an
apothecary bottle bought at the ‘brocante’, or antiques market in
Conrad Meier – it’s
cold in l’atelier Auguste Fivaz. No, really, it is. Back in November 2002 - we
bought a number of large, used curtains at "Ali Baba's Cavern",
Serrières so we could make it through the winter. The fabric is exquisite, and
a number of these curtains bore makers’ marks indicating that they were
concocted by Conrad Meier -
