The Swiss border is very close. Your papers please!

Don't hesitate to cross the Swiss border to meet our Swiss neighbors.

Don't be surprised by the accent, in our country, it's well pronounced, well on the other side too...but in a different way despite the proximity of our "populations". But one thing unites us, we like to dwell on words! Don't forget to exchange money before the border. Our neighbors are not European so they have their own currency: the Swiss Franc. They are still part of the Schengen area, so no need for a passport but make sure you have your identity card, otherwise you will be refused entry to Switzerland...that would be a shame! You won't be able to enjoy the wonders that neighboring Switzerland offers us. Moreover, to help you, we have concocted a list of things that we think are inevitable to do in our neighboring countries. Oh by the way, we almost forgot, in Switzerland, the highways are indicated by green signs unlike in France, don't be mistaken because to use the Swiss highway, you must have a sticker on sale at customs or in one of our offices. Also, the road signs are different, so drive slowly until you get used to them. Enjoy your trip to Switzerland!

Swiss natural sites:

Lake Neuchâtel : beaches and numerous coastal paths. Do not take the motorway to reach Vue des Alpes.

The Creux du Van : born from the work of water and ice erosion, an impressive limestone amphitheater more than a kilometer in diameter, home to chamois and ibex.

L'Escarpineau viewpoint : view of Lake Moron and the Châtelot Dam

Tours and tourist activities:

The underground mills of Les Roches in Le Locle : an impressive descent into this installation which used hydraulic power to transform wheat into flour.

The International Watchmaking Museum in La Chaux-de-Fonds and the Watchmaking Museum at the Château des Monts in Le Locle are housed in two distinct architectural settings: one in a modern underground space, and the other in a former castle in the heart of a large park. This urban watchmaking heritage is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The caves and prehistoric site of Réclère are remarkable for their stalagmites and stalactites. Nearby is the Préhisto-Parc, which features some reproductions of prehistoric animals.

Neuchâtel , a very beautiful city center with a pedestrian zone along the lake, beaches

Sainte-Ursanne : medieval village.
