Neuchâtel is one of the two cities in Switzerland where we might call it our home next year. Lausanne is the other city, and both are in the French-speaking region of the country. The above photo is taken from wikipedia which contains a detailed description of the history and sights of the city – Neuchâtel wiki.  It is in the heart of the watch-making region of Switzerland.  We stayed at the Hotel Beau Rivage on the lake front and had a day and a half to explore.  One of the highlights is the local museum which had an exhibition dedicated to Suchard chocolate which I will post later.  Below are some snapshots we took on our tour of the city on foot (mostly, except the funicular).
