1st week cont'd: Murten

On the way back from Avenches, I stopped in Murten.  This medieval town is sort of a mini Bern.  There was a famous battle here some 500 years ago and cannonballs remain in the defensive walls.  Otherwise its a load of eye candy.  The streets are filled with cafe's, and it smells like great food!

the castle!

I understand these to be grapes across Lake Murten... I read somewhere this area is somewhat known for its wine.  Or maybe its just corn and peas over there.  I dunno.

The Jura Mountains keep us seperated from the French.  and they speak a lot of French here.

over and out! :)
