Saint-Blaise: Chaumont - Thielle - Neuchatel - Lake Neuchâtel - Chasseral
Built around a lakeside settlement, Saint-Blaise grew into a wine-growing municipality on the northeastern shore of Lake Neuchâtel. It lies close to the Thielle, the watercourse that leads from Lake Neuchâtel toward Lake Biel/Bienne, while Chaumont rises above the neighbouring city of Neuchâtel and Chasseral forms part of the wider Jura skyline. Saint-Blaise has an exceptional archaeological association: finds at nearby La Tène gave their name to the La Tène culture, the Late Iron Age civilisation that extended across much of Europe. Vineyards, residential quarters and the lake shore place the community within the French-speaking canton of Neuchâtel.

Among the regions of Switzerland, Neuchâtel stands out for its Jura watchmaking heritage and terrain that runs from high valleys to the shores of Lake Neuchâtel. The canton lies in western Switzerland, where folded Jura ridges frame forests, pastures and towns shaped by precision crafts. La Chaux-de-Fonds and Le Locle are jointly listed by UNESCO for their urban planning, designed around the needs of the watch industry. Neuchâtel, the cantonal capital, stands beside the lake and retains a medieval castle and collegiate church.

Switzerland stretches from the Jura Mountains in the northwest to the Alps in the south, encompassing a central plateau of cities, farms and lakes. The Rhine rises in the Swiss Alps, while Lake Geneva forms part of the country’s southwestern border. Zürich, Geneva and Basel are major urban centres, yet mountain railways and passes remain central to how many regions are experienced. Four national languages—German, French, Italian and Romansh—reflect Switzerland’s distinct cantonal identities. The Matterhorn above Zermatt is among Europe’s most recognisable peaks, and the 1291 Federal Charter is closely associated with the country’s founding tradition.
