Our mission was to see the Castle of Gruyeres.
The castle was constructed back in the late 1200's. It looks enormous but once you get inside the castle itself, it's not as big as we thought.

This room had a huge fireplace but the bed was very small. It doesn't appear to be "fit for a king"but maybe a very small queen.
The knight's room has bright, detailed pictures on the walls.
The views from the castle are just like the postcards or picture books.
After we walked the castle, everyone decided they were hungry. Jason decided to treat himself to a nice USDA ribeye. They serve it on a hot stone and he got to cook it to his liking.
He didn't keep it this pink but there is quite a few people here that like their meat really rare.
After lunch, we decided to go have dessert. We headed to the Cailler Chocolate Factory. We watched a quick, old movie about how the chocolates are made and packaged. There was a quick walking tour of the old machines and the inventors of the differents types of chocolate.
The best part was they have free tasting of their different types of candy. It was a fun little tour and I was glad that we stopped since we were in the area.
At the very end, they do have a store where you can buy whatever your favorites are. Of course we had to buy some dark chocolate candy bars.
