South of Switzerland, at the border with Italy, the canton of Ticino is a stunning place with its large lakes, its many castles, its beautiful villages and its mountains. I went there twice, in 2013 and 2014; here are my favourite pictures of these trips.
🇫🇷 Au sud de la Suisse, à la frontière avec l’Italie, le canton du Tessin est un endroit renversant avec ses immenses lacs, ses nombreux châteaux, ses jolis villages et ses montagnes. Je m’y suis rendu à deux reprises, en 2013 et 2014 ; voici mes plus belles photos de ces voyages.
