I was forewarned that this monument to the slain Swiss soldiers who were killed in France was deeply moving, and that Mark Twain had called it “the most mournful and moving piece of stone in the world.” I still wasn’t prepared for how heartwrenching it was.
It’s a very short walk from the centre of town and is in a beautiful clearing, definitely worth a visit!
Hello! I’m an Australian travel blogger, living in Melbourne, Australia. I grew up in Brisbane, studied in Paris, lived & worked in New York City and now live in Melbourne, Australia.
I love sharing specific and useful recommendations, itineraries and guides for the most beautiful things to see, do, experience & eat wherever I go.
My favourite travel destinations are Australia, New York City & surrounds, France, Greece & Japan, but I’m always excited to explore somewhere new!
