Auvernier

Auvernier!  It is a village WAY to cute for words.  It is about half way from Grandchamp to Neuchatel.    From what I can tell it fairly well-to-do because there is a boat yard on the lake with 

gorgeous sail boats. 

This might be the police department but there was no sign.  A street worker came up and questioned me sort of since he didn't speak English and I no French.  All I know is he kept saying Policia and I kept saying photo.  We smiled and parted ways.

 The Swiss love their crazy shutters.

 This was called the Temple.  I don't have info on it right now...sorry.

 But when I went inside there were two modern stained glass windows.

 The area that I am in is famous for its vineyards.  My sister vis-a-vis says it is perfect weather and elevation for growing grapes.

 I kept walking up and up and when I turned around I was stunned by the magnificent view.  Lake Neuchatel.

 I believe that the mountain in the distance to the right that drops off is Mount Blanc.  I know that it is visible from Neuchatel.
