Swiss Driving Tour #6



My favorite book these days is "The Best Drives in Switzerland". We had clear blue sky and temperatures in the mid-60s to enjoy our 8 city tour in the French-speaking part of Switzerland: Riggisberg, Schwarzsee (the lake was actually frozen, but sadly no one was playing hockey), Fribourg (an old town with lots of charm and great views) , Bulle, Romont, Payerne, Avenches (home of the largest Roman amphitheater in Switzerland) and our favorite Murten, the best-preserved example of a fortified medieval Swiss village - check out the battle panorama. Thanks to the great weather and perfect location, we were able to see the Alps in all their snow-covered beauty almost the entire day. See our pictures of Fribourg, Murten and what it looks like in other parts of Switzerland here.
