When I arrived in Switzerland at the end of January, I stayed at the Hotel Beaulac during my first week because the company apartment was not yet ready.  The hotel is on the lake front but apparently I was not important enough to be given a room with the lake view.  My window faces the center of Neuchâtel, with light reflecting from the snow, the whole town looked luminously golden.  I also have a view of the pier (looking left) and the local art museum (looking right).  This is the museum that put on an exhibition about Suchard, see my earlier post: A History of Chocolate.  Actually, this view was much better because for the entire time I was there, it was so foggy that visibility on the lake was minimum.
