Stage 1 crosses the legendary fields of the Broye countryside. Payerne - Echallens (Goumoens-la-Ville)
Pastureland and cultivated fields stretch over wide rolling hills, sheltered hollows hide villages and hamlets, solid stone houses proudly display Burgundian archways; the peaceful Gros-de-Vaud is the granary of western Switzerland.
Highlight:
Don’t miss the magnificent Abbey of Payerne. It is the largest Romanesque church in Switzerland. The frescoes, capitals, the stature of the archways, and the "blondness" of the stones create a unique atmosphere.
