Traveler reviews
Jean-Emmanuel Fanolliet
★★★★★3 months agoEin sehr reizvoller Ort aus meiner Kindheit. Als kleiner Junge habe ich hier alle möglichen Leute aus der ganzen Welt getroffen. Das waren noch gute Zeiten. Damals gab es auch diese ganze Geschichte mit der Umbenennung des Ortes, was verwirrend war, mir aber letztendlich nichts ausmachte. Es hat mich tatsächlich sehr schockiert, wie es plötzlich aus der Mode kam. Ich erinnere mich, dass ich zum Studium nach Lugano ging und zurückkam und im Grunde nichts mehr vorfand. Das ganze Gebäude war weg, die Leute waren weg. Alles! Ich bin wohl einfach nur ein alter Mann, der in Erinnerungen schwelgt, aber ich bin froh, dass sie wieder etwas aus diesem Ort gemacht haben... Liebe Grosse, Jean-Emmanuel

★★★★★Edited a year agoPetit parc à l'emplacement de l'ancien prieuré de Saint-Jean, qui fut détruit sous Calvin. Il offre de l'ombre et un peu de tranquillité au coeur de la ville.
