«Hello, Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome on board here at Biel for the magnificent Three Lakes cruise. My name is Jean-Jacques Rousseau and you will get to know me better over the next few hours.»

Entertaining, enlightening audio tour in 3 languages

Jean-Jacques Rousseau, a well-known philosopher, educator, natural scientist and composer of the 18th century, once lived in the Three Lakes district. In his narratives, he takes the boat passengers through the history and everyday life of bygone days during a cruise from Biel to Morat and back to Biel via Neuchâtel. He is assisted by Barbara Stucki-Graber, a delightful colleague from the present era who additionally contributes facts from modern times.

The complete audio tour consists of 23 episodes which are related in German, French and English. The narratives can be heard on the four boats «MS St. Petersinsel – OrangeBoat», «MS Rousseau», «MS Berna» and «MS Chasseral».
