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.

Neuchatel is a wonderful city especially the center of the Old Town with the fountain and iconic watch tower. The architecture reminded me a lot of Italy, Malta. I love the yellow tones. I am glad I chose to visit this city. The center was empty because it was a Sunday, everyone was by the lake.
