Uma linda vila no meio do campo...
E este era Le Chateâu, que se chama como aquele em França, Notre Dame, que funcionava também como local de aulas para 6º, 7º, 8º e 9º anos do escalão mais alto de educação (pregimnasialle). Aliás era conhecida por castelo mas era uma "abbatiale", acho que é o equivalente a uma sé (???), tinha funcionado como mosteiro nos seus tempos de glória.
Esta era a parte do claustro do tal castelo, a escola...o que eu corri isto com os livros na mão!!!
Vista do ar..
A nossa floresta, que tinha percursos marcados para andar de bicicleta, e outros que se seguiam, como num pedi-paper, mas em vez de adivinhas, em cada paregem faziam-se tipos de exercícios físicos diferentes...muito fixe...
Como qualquer vila de campo que se preze, também tinhamos o nosso rio, La Broye, esta é a parte mais estreita e menos profunda dele...ah...e os moços são os nossos bombeiros a fazer uma simulação...
Ainda um resto de neve no horizonte...
Linda até de noite...
Desculpem a quem não percebe muito de inglês mais eis aqui mais alguma informação sobre esta vila...

Payerne is the regional economic centre of the Broye Plain in Canton Vaud. It has a picturesque and historic old town that includes the 11th century abbey church of Notre Dame, the largest Romanesque building in Switzerland.
Payerne is the centre of an area that is still strongly agriculture-orientated.

There are cattle and fruit orchards in the hilly area to the south of the town. The Swiss Air Force has an important airbase at Payerne.Payerne has a picturesque old town with a medieval character. Four 13th and 14th century turrets of the almost square-shaped town defence still stand. There are also many well-preserved bourgeois and patrician houses dating from the 17th to 19th centuries.A former Benedictine abbey is located in the centre of Payerne. The impressive 11th century abbey church is the largest Romanesque building in Switzerland and, with its decorated columns and early frescos, is considered one of the finest examples of Romanesque architecture in Europe. To the east of the abbey church is the Protestant parish church dating from the 13th and 14th centuries. The treble-naved Gothic church was refurbished in the 16th century.Payerne and environs are ideal for people who enjoy holidaying in the countryside. The region is famous for its natural beauty and easy-going ways, its farmhouse accommodation, sports, culture and the opportunity to taste and purchase fine local produce.
