P A Y E R N E
une si belle histoire



 Shortly before the year 1000, a lively religious life emerged in Payerne with the support of the Burgundy royal family (located in France).

Thanks to Empress Adelheid, the daughter of Queen Bertha, the Payerne community is affiliated to the large Benedictine monastery in Cluny (France).

Beste Plätze unter freiem Himmel - Wer unterwegs war, nimmt Platz auf der "Piazza delle Riforma", blickt auf den "Palazzo Civio" (Foto unten) - und wartet auf einen Apéritif .

Best seats under the open sky - Those who have been out and about take a seat in the "Piazza delle Riforma", look at the "Palazzo Civio" (photo below) - and wait for an aperitif .



Man braucht so lang bis man lernt, an einem einzigen Tag drei Erdteile zu besuchen.

Hier sind sie. Willkommen Indien! Willkommen Afrika!Willkommen Afrika¨
