Bernard and Franziska have a very lovely little chalet in the countryside. It‘s great for a retreat from the hectic everydaylife and for exploring suisse romandie as it’s sitting pretty much in the center of that region. You can visit the big forest nearby (Jorat) or one of the more touristic museums in the area: Maison Cailler, Gruyères or Aquatis in Lausanne...
Also worth a visit is Arboretum near Aubonne.
If the weather is bad, it‘s always nice to enjoy a warm fire and read a book :)
