Gruyères

This medieval Swiss village on a hill above the Saane Valley and the Lake of Gruyère lends its name to Gruyère cheese and is anchored by a castle that draws visitors to its well-preserved old town. The surrounding landscape offers scenic views across the valley, and the village centre holds an unusually dense concentration of cafés and restaurants for a settlement of its size.
