Oron la Châtel, Vaud in Switzerland
- Switzerland is well known for its strongholds: the Alps and its fortified castles, The latters were built either by neighboring powers to be able to control the passage of the Alps (Chillon, Tarasp), or by local families and cities.
- Oron belongs to this last category and offers a fairylike cosiness and a superb view on the Alps in the background.
- Bailiffs and families lived here for 8 centuries, as all the fineness of 18th century French furniture (the Rousseau time), as well as the outstanding Potocky library are witnessing within the walls of this medieval castle
- Every room is adorned with Delftlike tiled stove, displaying various themes (travels, fables, flowers, ...).
- Currently, a foundation with motivated members is in charge of this moving place.
