Gruyères : Try
reaching the castle in the picturesque village of Gruyères without succumbing to
the temptation of the wonderful restaurants along the way. It’s not easy!
First the Hostellerie des Chevaliers and then the Restaurant des Remparts. A
few steps further on, and the Auberge de la Halle. Walking through mediaeval
Gruyères is pure temptation. Try fine local delicacies such as “framboises à la
double crème” (raspberries with cream) — wonderfully simple and just as tasty as
the region’s famous cheese.
Produced since time immemorial and
sticking religiously to the traditional recipe, gruyere cheese is produced
locally yet enjoyed the world over. Everywhere you turn in this picturesque
region you can watch this famous cheese being made, but don’t let this distract
you from a visit to the wonderful castle of Gruyères.
And on the way back through the
village, stop off at one of the many restaurants, where one thing is sure to be
on the menu — gruyere cheese.
