Moto
Europa - If you are visiting Belgium, England, France, Germany, the
Netherlands, Italy, Portugal or Spain, why rent a car when you can lease from
Moto
Europa. Getting Away
has teamed with
Ideamerge to provide an online way for you to learn more about, and
perhaps subsequently order, a Renault Eurodrive tax-free, short-term auto
lease. These leases can be great deals for persons traveling 17 days or
more! And, this is the only site on the web where you can learn so
much about them and order securely online. Tax-free, short-term leases
have the touch and feel of a rental but can be much less costly
and, in many respects, much simpler. You book and pay for your lease
before taking delivery, signing a contract which allows Renault to register
and fully insure in your name the exact vehicle of your choice
for the period you requested. You do not, of course, pay the full price of
the vehicle; the one low charge—tax-free and including full
comprehensive insurance and breakdown coverage, 24/7 roadside assistance, and
full warranty—is essentially the difference between preset buying and
selling prices. After returning the vehicle, you have no further
obligations whatsoever; Renault sells the vehicle to a rental agency or other
party.

Suggestions for Dining in Switzerland
Because of its cultural diversity, Switzerland offers an
unusually wide range of dining experiences. French, German and Italian
influences prevail in regions where those languages are spoken. Quality is
uniformly good and you will enjoy your meals.
Each region has its specialties: Fondue and Raclette (melted cheese dishes) in
the French part; sausages, roasts and fried potatoes (Rösti) in the German
part; sliced air-dried beef (Bündnerfleisch) and ham in the Graubünden region;
Italian specialties in the Ticino. Swiss pastries and desserts are world-famous
and you will find it difficult in deed to walk past a bakery!
Swiss wines are excellent, especially when ordered in the region
where the grapes are grown – always ask for local wine. Swiss beer is first
rate. Liquors are delicious, but highly potent – Marc, Kirsch, Pflümli,
Williamine are the most popular.
