Learn many interesting things during the city tour and how the ambassadors of the city of Solothurn lived.

On the trail of the Ambassadors in Solothurn

Solothurn is also called the city of ambassadors and was the residence city of the French kings: How did the French Ambassadors live in Solothurn and what did the direct connection to Versaille mean? The ambassador, dressed in baroque style as in those days, will initiate you into the secrets of the baroque French way of life. A narrator will also accompany you on the tour and will talk to you from the sewing box. Why was Solothurn chosen as the location for the French ambassadors 300 years ago? And how were mercenaries lured to France to fight for the kings of France?

French lifestyle

The city basked in the splendour of political and cultural events and by the prominent visitors. As a leading social class, the solar patricianism attracted abundant financial and cultural benefits. The townscape and the numerous patrician summer houses in the surrounding area still bear witness to this today. The envoys brought French lifestyle and French art to the city. Louis XIV paid for the construction of the façade of the Jesuit church and donated the high altarpiece in the Franciscan church.
