BARN & BEEHIVE
SOUTH OF GRUYERES, SWITZERLAND
Image Number 32
Gruyeres, in South-West Switzerland is celebrated not simply for its world-famous cheese, but for its medieval village and great castle. But Atticus Webb loved Gruyeres and the road south through the Saanen Valley because it is a wonderland of traditional Swiss farms. This barn and old beehive was in a village nearby.
