Frédérique Berra

Frédérique is currently Managing Director of Bowling de l’Aérodrome. Her job involves managing all the financial, administrative, legal and logistical aspects of the business. Skills she has acquired over her years working in the bowling alley. As Bowling de l’Aérodrome is open during the day and at night, the teams start their day at 2 p.m. or 4:30 p.m., ready and waiting to welcome the first customers, depending on how busy they are and the time of year. Her brother and business partner Patrick works out front with the staff. For the Berra siblings, it is hard work, but also their life’s work and work they love, with a firm commitment to treating their staff well and passing on their passion for their work to young people through training and apprenticeships. For Frédérique, Bowling de l’Aérodrome is a family affair that she hopes will continue to be a popular destination in Annemasse and Ville-la-Grand as the business is passed down the generations over the decades to come. With this desire to safeguard the bowling alley’s future in mind, Frédérique and Patrick are constantly improving the business and have some exciting plans in the pipeline for the coming years, including the installation of new, state-of-the-art, sustainable equipment and technology.

Frédérique enjoys sharing her knowledge and experience of running a leisure facility in the heart of the Monts du Genevois with other businesses that, like Bowling de l’Aérodrome, also contribute to the region’s economy through their leisure and entertainment offerings for locals and tourists alike. As a key player in tourism development, Frédérique enjoys discovering what the region has to offer, not only in terms of her work, but for her free time, too.
