The picture shows a young man in historical military uniform in front of a fountain. His gaze is thoughtful and proud as he casually holds a sabre blade, as if he is in a quiet reflection on the past.

Why did French soldiers turn Bernese homes upside down – and how did two of them end up drowning in wine? Get the answers straight from Jean Roche Coignet himself, a French soldier with a flair for storytelling. On this entertaining and witty walk through post-Grauholz Bern, “le Français” whisks guests back to the year 1798 – complete with charm, humour and a French accent.
