Some of us are away ( not my idea, but a very fine place) for a couple of days.
This is called the Arenenberg. It was the home of Napoleon III, last Emperor of France, and his mother Hortense. All the Napoleon family had to leave France after Waterloo, to prevent them from getting IDEAS. This Napoleon became a citizen of Switzerland.
The estate was bequeathed to the canton when the family died out. It now is a museum, agricultural school, park, hotel, and restaurant, with a working farm, vineyards, apiary, and dairy.
