Intro

言語:フランス語/カントン:ヴォー(VD)/標高:514 m 豊かな緑に囲まれた谷にたたずむ小さな町。ケルト、ローマ時代にも要所であった歴史は古く、ツェーリンゲン家によって中世都市の礎が築かれたと考えられています。13世紀からはサヴォイア家の支配のもと、ヴォー州の中心地として発展。現在は上下に分かれた2つの地区に、13世紀ゴシック建築の教会、塔や泉、由緒ある邸宅など、昔の街並が残されています。ブロワ川沿いに12世紀の塔から古い家々が続く情景も印象的です。

Historic circular tour

The following tour presents the craft of cheese-making and the industrial sites in Moudon, which reflect the rich history of this region. These sites bear witness to an industrial tradition dating back to the 19th century, and the dairies also use time-honoured traditional recipes for their creations.

Tip 1: Le Grand Pré dairy

In September 2013, the dairy Le Grand Pré inaugurated its new production plant for soft cheese in the heart of Moudon. This new brand embodies all that was great about the soft cheese specialities from the former Moudon Cheese School.

Tip 2: Le Gruyère dairy

Certified since 1115, cheese-making in this region is based on a traditional recipe that has stood the test of time in the village dairies from where it originates – La Gruyère in the Canton of Freiburg – but also in the Cantons of Vaud, Neuchâtel, Jura and a few municipalities in Bern.

Tip 3: Gruyère AOC ripening cellar

Fromco SA specialises in the ageing of Gruyère AOC. The immense maturation caves offer an impressive spectacle of about 140,000 cheese wheels, which are displayed, cleaned, nurtured and stored according to AOC standards.

Tip 4: Ferroflex Braillard iron

The Braillard family, which has been famous for ironmongery in the Moudon region since the 19th century, have helped shaped the industrial history of the area. Today, the company specialising in steel and construction technology offers tours of its production facility.

Tip 5: Model packaging

The Moudon site develops innovative packaging and display solutions made of corrugated cardboard. The products are manufactured on high performance machines in various print processes, which can be discovered on a tour.
