Biel/Bienne at a glance

Biel/Bienne, at the foot of the Jura on the shore of Lake Biel, is the largest bilingual city in Switzerland. German and French are both official, and street signs and the city administration use both languages. It lies in the canton of Bern and is a major watchmaking centre, home to the Swatch Group and brands such as Omega. Housing is mostly rented flats in the centre and in quarters such as Mett/Mâche, Madretsch and Bözingen/Boujean, with houses and vineyards on the slopes of the Rebberg/Vignoble. Typical small jobs include cleaning, moving help, furniture assembly, dog walking and tutoring – in German or in French, depending on the family. For older residents, help with errands and computer questions is a common request too.
