On the way to the Panorama, I passed this chocolate shop
and an Aldi's which tells me that home is never far away.
My next stop was the Bourbaki Panorama, one of the world's few surviving panoramas. It's a huge circular painting, which depicts the French march through Switzerland under the direction of General Bourbaki during the Franco-Prussian war. (It reminded me of the Cyclorama in Gettysburg, PA, which shows Pickett's Charge.) But it also showed the kindness and neutrality of the Swiss as they came to the aid of the army.
The artist, Edouard Castres
