I was a missionary, and we got moved around few months, so it was several 
places, though not Fribourg. However, I think that I did end up visiting there 
for a day at one point. Actually, IIRC, it was there that I saw someone 
carrying a bag that said H₂Eau, which I found quite funny, but then again I 
really like puns. Anyway, from around December 2001 to October 2003, I lived 
in

Annecy, France
Valence, France
Vevey, Switzerland
Lausanne, Switzerland
Montbéliard, France
Dijon, France
La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland

You know, it always feels funny to see or type Switzerland, because I'm so 
used to Suisse (which is also easier to remember how to spell).
