\"R\u00e9sultat<\/p>\n

The city of Fribourg is located at the symbolic border between French and German speaking Switzerland, which is represented by the Sarine\/Saane river. As a consequence the city is officially bilingual (with a majority of French speakers, though), which means that you will find many official sign posts in both languages.<\/p>\n

\"R\u00e9sultat<\/p>\n

You will find the largest amount of historic and medieval buildings in Switzerland here,\u00a0including over 200 Gothic buildings, almost 2’000 m of town walls and 14 medieval towers. The city is also known for its particular topology, as it is divided into a lower old town (‘Basse ville’) and an upper side with the more contemporary buildings.<\/p>\n

Fribourg is\u00a0a nice sample of Switzerland and the countryside, along the banks of the river and beyond, is gorgeous. You will be able to find close-by Gruy\u00e8res<\/a> (home to the famous cheese, and, even better, to what we call ‘double cream’ here, to be eaten with meringue – \u00a0don’t miss it!) and the Mol\u00e9son<\/a>, a well-known mountain of the Swiss Prealps.<\/p>\n
