A picturesque journey through Switzerland and Liechtenstein thanks to the magnificent watercolours of artist Daniel Lanoux. More than 220 watercolours illustrate the beauty and diversity of the Swiss Confederation and the Principality, from the magnificent Château de Dardagny in the Geneva region to the granaries of Tschlin in the Lower Engadine, via the former Republic of Gersau on Lake Lucerne. The artist has captured magnificent views and masterfully reproduced them in this book, with texts in English, German and French. From places that inspired Tolkien to write ‘The Lord of the Rings’, such as Niedergesteln in Valais, to the English gardens of Arlesheim on the outskirts of Basel, from the historic town of Zofingen with its hundred fountains to the small town of Diessenhofen on the Rhine, a colourful journey that will not leave you indifferent. Of course, the fairytale landscapes of Appenzell and Gruyère are not to be missed, nor are iconic mountains such as the Pilatus or the Matterhorn. This is the Switzerland that I love!
