I was dropped off at my B&B in the village of Epagny and unloaded my stuff. I then set out to walk through the village located at the base of Gruyere, taking in the scenery of roosters in yards, cows of course and the Alps.
I hiked up the hill to the Guyere village. There is not much there but is it ever charming. It is just one street, a church and a castle surrounded by old city walls.
I found the view of the Alps most dramatic when the sun was starting to set....
they looked like something out of a painting.

I couldn't leave town without taking in the traditional dish, Cheese Fondue! I ate at "Le Chalet" just outside of the castle. The fondue was terrific. And once again, the Swiss
