'Nestled in the three countries of Germany, France and Switzerland, Basel is a city full of surprises. The city canton with roughly 190,000 inhabitants and a 2000-year history is located on the bend of the Rhine on the borders with France and Germany. The city offers a unique range of culture and art, and possesses one of Europe's most attractive and best-preserved Old Towns.'

At least that's what it says on the website of the Basel Tourist Board...

Now, I know that people (I'm hoping that more than one person will see this, OK?) will look at that top bit, up there, and say: "Oooh. He didn't much care for Basel." Not true.
