    J'ai adoré le jardin et pouvoir faire une sieste au frais sous les arbres (période de canicule). J'ai apprécié aussi les conseils pour visiter les ruines romaines. Belle découverte.

    Bereits die Anfahrt in das so pittoreske Avenches war sehr schön und angenehm. Die Jugendherberge liegt in einem ruhigen Teil des Städtchens und das so schöne Haus mit dem grossen gepflegten Garten (alte Baumbestände) hat mich wirklich...
