Broye Region (Switzerland)

• About Broye

• Switzerland
• Vaud canton
• Fribourg

The Region is made of several districts of both canton of Vaud and Fribourg which are extremely interconnected, so that if you take the train between Moudon and Avenches about 35 kilometers, you cross the border 5 times, and even 12 times if you go from Lausanne to Lyss (beginning and end of the line, about 100 km!). Last year there was some discussion to create, like in Jura, a new canton of the Broye. But until today, it's only talk...

Anyway they have adopted a flag which is hoisted on every district capital's townhall. The green stands for Vaud, the blue for the river of the Broye, the black for the canton of Fribourg, the white is the common colours of both Fribourg and Vaud, and the sun stands for the bright future!

You can visit the website with a map of the region, flag and arms (like every other in Switzerland, the same design but on an ecu...) at www.coreb.ch/Coreb/CorebF.html
