Cycling is not allowed in this location You will have to transport your bikes. THIS REMARK DOES NOT MAKE SENSE, "respect" for cyclists (many) and "tolerance" for pedestrians (few) and everything will happen in order and dignity!!!

Very beautiful old French town with many cafes to linger. Furthermore, on the edge of the old town you have a fantastic view of Lake Murten.

The amphitheater of Avenches is certainly one of the most impressive legacies of Roman culture. The medieval bishop's tower at the entrance houses the Roman museum. The amphitheater and tower are within shouting distance of the castle entrance. Right next door, visitors can use a large paid parking lot. The amphitheater is also the starting point for the other Roman sights in the Avanches area.
