On 30th June visited the village of Gruyères in Switzerland. This lies in the Swiss canton of Fribourg, and is known for cheese-making and its mediaeval town centre. The picturesque city of Gruyères lies at the foot of the Pre-Alps in the canton of Fribourg. Visited the village of Gruyeres from where the best chocolates of Switzerland come. Like the other places it is full of meadows and a green cover and a river flowing nearby with a castle at the top of the hill. This medieval castle was built around 11th cen and it flourished till 16th century and a history of 20 counts is available for this period. The word Gruyeres comes from the French word Crane whom the first count saw when he came to this jungle and took is as a good omen and decided to make this his home in 400 A. D. The village has a medieval charm with its streets and narrow lanes and the castle on top of the hill stands tall.
