This Confiseur here has fantastic cakes (tourtes). Famous is the Truffle cake, and rightly so. Dark and heavy chocolate is used, that's a mouthful. But we loved the Tourte "Le Pave Du Chateau" even better. Covered with chocolate AND then chocolate powder. Creamy inside with a bit of jam. It's pure sweetness. It's heavy, it's filling....it's perfect. Really one of the best cakes we've ever bought in a bakery. Came back a few days later to get some more. Prices are fair - especially for its quality.

Really beautiful lake promenade in the center of Neuchatel, it is possible to sit on concrete or also in the pebbles of the pebbles beach. Directly access to the water from the center so you can swim! But limited space. Visited in winter, a sunny and warm day and everyone was sitting outside enjoying the sun, it was an awesome feeling. Amazing sunset too.

For me the ride in the funicular up to Chaumont is just part of visiting Neuchatel, it's essential and something I've done since being a small child! It never disappoints. The funicular is reached easily by bus (no 107) from the town centre. It's 4.20 CH francs each way and takes about 10 minutes to ascend and descend and the views, in both directions, are lovely. Once at the top, there's a small restaurant and various walks. You can also drive up to Chaumont. The view is fabulous and particularly if you go up the viewing tower. It's one CF franc per person and there's a change machine in the funicular station. The view from the top of lake Neuchatel and the alps is so worth the few steps up the tower as it takes you right above the trees. Even on a foggy day, when we couldn't see across the lake in Neuchatel, once in Chaumont and above the clouds, you see the whole Alps range including Mont Blanc to the right and the Matterhorn and the Eiger to the left. It's beautiful and spectacular.

Although the information on the boards was mainly in French with some in German additionally; we were given audio handsets with English which guided us through the caves with a good balance of history and humour so didn’t feel we missed anything at all. Was very evocative and could imagine them in working conditions vividly! The caves were fascinating and thought the reconstruction was very well done, only thing I could suggest is a photo display of the renovation as would have loved to have seen this! The exhibition upstairs was interesting and a few extras to give entertainment. This part would have nice to have an English translation.

We walked through the Gorge from the station of Boudry up to the station in Noiraigue. It took us about a bit more than 4 h, including a lunch break in between. Particularly pitoresque in October with all the trees changing colour. We didn't rush, so maybe in Summer you can start a bit earlier and then combine the hike with another 3 h around the Creux du Van (which splits off at some point close to Noiraigue). The gorge has many nice little and larger waterfalls along the way, and quite a narrow canyon at the start close to Boudry.
