Here’s a small abstract of what you can read about the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Situated at an altitude of 1,000 meters above sea level, built as regularly as a chessboard, this city is marked by its unique watchmaking industry and tradition which is listed as UNESCO World Heritage site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Incomparable<\/strong>
The city nestled in the Neuch\u00e2tel Mountains, unlike any other, is considered\u00a0one of the highest located in Europe. Surrounded by fields and forests, it was built almost entirely by and for the watchmaking industry. You will find rectilinear roads throughout the city, which give it its unique appearance. If you climb up to the\u00a0Espacit\u00e9 Tower<\/a>\u00a0or participate in a\u00a0guided tour<\/a>, you can appreciate this special chessboard design even better.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watchmaking and UNESCO<\/strong>
The urban structure of the watchmakers\u2019 town of La Chaux-de-Fonds has been listed as UNESCO World Heritage since 2009, and it is best explained at the\u00a0Espace de l’Urbanisme horloger<\/a>. It takes special understanding to grasp the meaning of a place which breathes in the rhythm of its watches. The superb\u00a0Mus\u00e9e international d’horlogerie<\/a>\u00a0with more than 4,000 exceptional pieces from sundials to atomic clocks will doubtlessly enchant you.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Art Nouveau\u00a0<\/strong>
La Chaux-de-Fonds is also famous for its importance in the world of Art Nouveau in Switzerland, and it has its own style, the ‘Pine Tree’ style. Decorations are subtly integrated into buildings or building complexes such as the crematory, and will be discovered during a\u00a0guided tour<\/a>\u00a0on this topic.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Corbusier, native of La Chaux-de-Fonds<\/strong>
His real name was Charles-Edouard Jeanneret, and he was born in this town. As a young man, Le Corbusier realised several of his works here, among others the White House,\u00a0La maison blanche<\/a>. This avant-garde building is open to the public on weekends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
