Biel the Town of Biel, the Metropolis of Swiss Watchmaking, Lies at the Eastern End of Lake Biel, at the Foot of the Jura in the Delightful Lake Region Biel The town of Biel, the metropolis of Swiss watchmaking, lies at the eastern end of Lake Biel, at the foot of the Jura in the delightful Lake Region. The charm of bilingualism, the intact old town and its location as the gateway to the three peripheral Jura lakes (Lakes Biel, Neuchâtel and Murten) make the town an attractive starting point, but also a destination for excursions.

One senses the relaxed mentality here resulting from the mixture of these two languages. In 2002, Biel was one of the four exhibition locations for EXPO. Architecturally, Biel is a town of many facets. The modern part of the city with its high-rise buildings lies at lake level which then gives way, on a slight incline, to the intact old town with its gothic town church stemming from the 15th century. In 2004, Biel was awarded the Wakker Prize by the Swiss Heritage Society for the exemplary manner in which it conserved its, in part, outstanding stock of © MySwitzerland.com - Schweiz Tourismus - Page 1/15 20th century buildings. Examples can be found in the new town, where uniform districts built in the ‘new construction’ style came into being in the 1920s and ‘30s.

Switzerland’s only officially bilingual city is known as Biel to German- speakers and Bienne to French-speakers – a linguistic status that makes for a special charm. While the modern city reaches down to the lake, the intact Old Town with its 15th-century Gothic church nudges up against the hillside. As gateway to the Seeland lake region, Biel/Bienne also has plenty to offer active visitors. Feel-good food at 08:30 For more than 100 years, this bakery has been known for its Rüfi’s delicious rolls. Today, Chez Rüfi serves breakfast from 6.30am, Monday to Saturday – and everything is market-fresh, natural, and of outstanding quality. In the round 11:00 You couldn’t take sides here if you wanted to: the semi-circular shape of the Rotonde makes this restaurant the perfect meeting point for French- and German-speakers alike. Here, all of bilingual Biel/Bienne comes for a chat, to linger over a drink – or just to watch the colourful comings and goings on Place Guisan through the big glass windows. Gourmet delights 12:00 The “Goût Mieux” quality label is awarded to restaurants that use in an urban oasis organic, regional, fair-trade ingredients wherever possible. The bistro of the charming Villa Lindenegg is like a gourmet island: in the heart of the city, yet surrounded by greenery. To the island 14:00 Follow the example of Jean-Jacques Rousseau and let yourself be enchanted by St. Peter’s Island. For an inspiring round trip, take a boat from Biel/Bienne to the peninsula, continue on foot through a nature reserve to a historic hotel with garden restaurant in the lovely inner courtyard (all once part of a monastery), and then take the famous heath trail to Erlach. From here, you can catch a boat back to Biel/Bienne. © MySwitzerland.com - Schweiz Tourismus - Page 3/15 From the boat to 18:00 Charming, unfussy, and fun: the bistro of the Lago Lodge, where the Lago Lodge you can sip your beer and watch more being brewed at the same time. Alternatively, simply soak up the sunshine on the terrace, or try your luck at a game of boules. From the lake 19:30 Fish does not come any fresher than this: at the Restaurant du onto your plate Lac, what you eat is caught on the doorstep – for example pike (the speciality of the house, together with perch) from Lake Biel or Lake Neuchâtel. If you reserve a table on the large terrace, you are in for a special treat: the lakefront views are enchanting. Chill out in style in 22:00 At the St. Gervais, a historic house that once belonged to the the Old Town monastery of Bellelay, you can now choose between 300 different drinks. Located in the heart of Biel/Bienne’s Old Town, it is also home to the Etage Club, which puts on an ambitious programme of culture and concerts ranging from jazz to hip hop. Art deco at the 24:00 The top hotel in town offers four-star comfort in an authentic art Elite deco setting. The hotel’s brasserie serves select gastronomic treats, while the Baramundo bar also regularly stages live music. © MySwitzerland.com - Schweiz Tourismus - Page 4/15 Current events Christmas Market 06 The biggest Christmas market of the region charms visitors with its cozy atmosphere and its generous offer of different arts and DEC crafts.

    The 11 historic fountains of Solothurn Fountains, in which women used to wash their clothes, can be found in every place. However, it is hardly impossible to find a place where the fountains are as grandly built as they are in Solothurn. They reflect the wealth that the French ambassadors brought into the city. “Solothurn allegedly attempted to increase the number of its fountains to 11. As a result, it became, in proportion to its size, the city with the most fountains in Switzerland”, writes Fritz Wyss in his book “Die Stadt Solothurn”. Most of the fountains were built in the 16th century. By the way: Bern, too, has 11 monumental fountains in the old city. In Solothurn water flows in many other fountains, too. In “Brunnen der Stadt Solothurn”, Adele Tatarinoff lists about fifty of them. To name but a few: the Kollegiumsbrunnen (college fountain) of 1676, the Franziskanerbrunnen (Franciscan fountain) situated south of the Franciscan church and dating from around 1759, the Pisonibrünnlein (little Pisoni fountain) (1774) next to the St. Urs tower, the Schmiedengassebrunnen (blacksmith’s alley fountain) of 1796, the Landhausbrünnlein (little Landhaus fountain) (1888) or the fountain outside of the Basel gate (1781, it was moved to its present site in 1972). The city also created fountain systems in today’s time such as the one at the vocational school (1955), the Kosciuszko fountain (1967) by the artist Schang Hutter at the Soba bank or the Heilbronn fountain (1982) at the Städtische Werke. However, the above mentioned fountains do not have the monumental size of the other 11 ones.

The Charter came into force on 1 April 1998. Article 15 of the Charter requires states to present a report to the Secretary General of the Council of Europe on the policy and measures adopted by them to implement its provisions.

Since then, Switzerland has submitted reports at three-yearly intervals (December 2002 and May 2006) on developments in the implementation of the Charter, with explanations relating to changes in the language situation in the country, new legal instruments and implementation of the recommendations of the Committee of Ministers and the Council of Europe committee of experts. This document is the fourth periodical report by Switzerland. The report is divided into a preliminary section and three main parts. The preliminary section presents the historical, economic, legal, political and demographic context as it affects the language situation in Switzerland. The main changes since the third report include the enactment of the federal law on national languages and understanding between linguistic communities (Languages Law) (FF 2007 6557) and the new model for teaching the national languages at school (—HarmoS“ intercantonal agreement).
