To add to that, after 6 back surgeries I have to be near a pain specialist, which is near a big hospital. So, essentially, I have to live close enough to a large medical facility that it wouldn't take me long to get there. That is a real 'downer' for me because I would prefer to live in a small village like in those pictures.
By the way, how do two cars pass each other on those small roads??
Hi Mel well you know here actually the largest employer of the village is an hospital however not all the wards are available, in our case we are waiting a baby and we will go at the Lausanne public one 8 km away from here, but there are tons of options...believe me I have been traveling quite a bit and the Swiss healthcare system is unbelievably great never seen so many checks for a pregnancy and we are waiting now our second baby..

That is a road that I like to take avoiding the main road would be mainly for residents and the winemakers and locals but even on the main roads there are points where can pass a vehicle at time... we do not know what traffic is here and we can breath the fresh air of the Alps that are all around.. on a clear day Mt Blanc would be visible...

the day of the pics was cold and cloudy not a good one I ll show others pics on a sunny day and other circumstances and you ll see

What about that? Too far to walk, not suitable for autos, trucks or even horse drawn carts o_O I don't get it. Somebody didn't make though...

? Its a white cross. Doesn't automatically mean a pile up. Christians kind of use it. And have you seen the Swiss flag?

You were being ironic?
That is the beauty of this place the calm but just outside Lausanne... consider those roads are used mainly beside by the locals, by tourists on walks & bikes trials that pass through the vineyards and go all around
