Neuchâtel

Port of Neuchatel.

"Neuchâtel (literally: New Castle in Old French) is the capital of the Swiss canton of Neuchâtel. The city is located on the northwestern shore of the Lake of Neuchâtel, a few kilometers east of Peseux and west of Saint-Blaise. It is also the heartland of the celebrated Swiss watchmaking industry, centred on the once-famous towns of La Chaux-de-Fonds and Le Locle, which both rely heavily on their horological past to draw in visitors." – Wikipedia
