country information

Switzerland, although being a small country, has 4 official languages: Swissgerman, French, Italian and Raetoromanian. Avenches is in the French part but very near the border to the German speaking part of Switzerland. If you speak either German, French or English you shouldn't have any problems travelling around the country since most Swiss people are able to communicate in those 3 languages.

Btw, Switzerland is not in the EU, so there's gonna be a border.
