Bonjour mes amis! Lee and I visited Gruyères yesterday. Gruyères is a beautiful medieval village in Switzerland. It has a typical Swiss landscape with green hills, cows, and nearby mountains. Gruyères is small, with only one main street, and there's nothing modern in the village. We visited the Gruyère castle, located at the top of the village. It was built between 1270 and 1282 as a fortress. Later, it was converted into a "grand residence". In 1849, the castle was purchased by two families who restored the château and redecorated the interior. Today, the château has beautifully decorated rooms with wall paintings and antique furniture. There is the H.R. Giger museum nearby. Giger is the artist who made the design of the "alien" movies. We had lunch in the village of Gruyères at an outdoor café. I had a crêpe avec du fromage gruyère - c'était délicieuse!
