Photo of the Week – July 25, 2014

While planning an upcoming trip to Switzerland, I recently came across this photograph of the Aare river running through Bern. The river which runs through the city is known around the world as a celebrated swim spot. Most swimmers enter the Aare from the public baths of Marzili and let the strong current carry them downstream. At just four and a half hours from Paris by train, Bern (or Berne in French) is especially known for it’s medieval city centre, recognised by UNESCO as a Cultural World Heritage Site.
