This is where they speak German ... or French. Biel - or Bienne, in French - is the only town in the whole of Switzerland where both German and French are spoken on an equal footing. For example, all the street names are given in both languages. Here you will notice the easy-going attitude that comes from the mixture of two languages. Biel has a throbbing New Town and an Old Town that will tempt you to stroll.
