International Museum of Watches

Reviewed By Zoom_Gotti - Henderson, Nevada

Amazing display of time pieces. Properly called something like Le Musee International d'Horlogerie.Take your time strolling through and note the history. The emphasis here is not so much on the watches themselves but, rather, on the science that spawned them. As you meander the case and displays note how the detail work evolved. There might also be a special exhibition on the lower right level as you enter. Generally group tours are made in advance. Otherwise, ask for an audio tour. Stay a while. It's very interesting. And the train station is nearby.

La Maison Blanche - Le Corbusier

Reviewed By Stefan G - Lucerne, Switzerland

...but I cannot see anything special in that early piece of Corbusier.
If a mediocre architect gets such a piece of land probably anyone can build a villa on it. It has some interesting aspects but IMHO nothing of the later works. True if you study the history and not a surprise but seeing it completes the journey and helps to understand the break of what he learned from others.

This hotel, surrounded by nature, propose very comfortable and quiet rooms. The service is friendly and the food is very good. They just build a new Spa and fitness area which is simply fantastic. The concept is great and it's really very relaxing place. There are 4 different mixed saunas (+1 only for women), a hammam (+1only for women) and a huge relaxing space - all perfectly designed. Highly recomendable!
