This time, (August) we're coming from San Francisco, which we've done before, but so long ago I've forgotten the best route.

Hi folks: I am speaking at a conference in Basel at the end of August and want to add on a few days in Switzerland. Lucerne looks to be a top option. To see the highlights (no major hiking) is two days enough? Are the experiences of Mount Pilatus and Mount Rigi different enough so we should make sure we have time to do both? Thank you, Ken Read More

Laval is a prosperous town of about 50,000 people, birthplace of Le Douanier Rousseau. It's not on most tourists' radar but it has a lot going for it and is well worth a visit.
