Luzern (Lucerene, French spelling) - French spelling is Lucerne, as is the English spelling.
Lake Luzern - English is Lake Lucerne. (German is Vierwaldstättersee.)
Thanks for correcting my spelling errors. I have enough trouble spelling US cities names correctly--Foreign names (especially those in two different languages can be a real pain.) The first time I traveled to Europe, I couldn't figure out where Bale (cirumflex on the a) and Aix-la-Chapelle were for example--the train schedules I looked at had Basle and Aachen.
