Where to get a credential when starting the camino in Geneva

Hi, does anyone know where in Geneva I can get a credential to start from there? I need it by Tuesday. Thanks. Heike.
 
...and ship it to Santiago for storage. You pick it up once in Santiago. Service offered by Casa Ivar (we use DHL for transportation).
The Via Gebensis - the route from Geneve - isn't a 'Camino' route at all. It is called a designer route, created to link Geneve with Le Puy, so you might not find any St Jacques support in Geneva.
As you are only planning on walking from Geneva to Le Puy, you could make up your own credencial to have stamped along the route.
 
Heike, although I sent you a PM with lots of info on the Via Gebensis the other day, I think I omitted to mention anything about the credencial.

If you are not able to get a credencial in time - I think you are leaving today - you can make one yourself to have stamped along the route. When it comes to staying in the albergues in Spain and, especially collecting stamps on the last 100km from Santiago, that is when you need an accepted credencial.

Have a wonderful walk.
