A Village Full of Restaurants: La Gruyère

La Gruyère has restaurants on both sides of the cobbled hilly roads. Each one represents the crane in one form or the other. The bird indeed is ubiquitous. The logs placed in front of the restaurant in the image above has an old world charm.

Inside La Maison du La Gruyère: The Endearing Cow

Inside La Maison du La Gruyère, one could see the traditional cauldron made of copper, the image of a cowherd and a colourful image of the cow. There is a tableau giving details of the cow, and how it lives, what all grasses and herbs, flowers and leaves it eats.

No wonder cheese is one of the most loved foods.

In the conducted tour, one could see milk being split and processed, the cheese disks being treated in salt water and matured, and the final product being branded and matured. the cheese produced here is considered as one of the best.

MOV02103- Stop here or gently pass

This music immediately caught my attention and standing still, I recorded it. This group first sang, BEE GEE's How deep is Your Love. I was so impressed that I could not even record it.
By the second song I was ready.

Music indeed is a healer, and Cologne Cathedral being a place of pilgrimage, it had more impact on me.

Since the video is large, I have given the link to Youtube.
