"Pont Rotary" over the Broye Canal

Today, finally, we're having another men's ride with Willi. We take the train to Neuenburg. From there, we start a loop around the lake. After a snack, we set off on our bikes and enjoy the pleasant temperatures. On the west side of the lake, we ride partly through vineyards or along the shore, where we occasionally have unobstructed views …

Today I was out and about in French Switzerland again......

In beautiful but autumnal weather, I spontaneously decided to tackle the long-planned tour around Lake Neuchâtel😃....
Great route with beautiful viewpoints. In the warmer season, many small beaches invite you to swim🏊‍♂️
A successful end to the holiday😄

Around Lake Neuchâtel, the largest lake in Switzerland. Magnificent discoveries with beaches, vineyards, museums, bars that require strolling and restaurants where it is good to stop for a tasting of local products. Do not forget to visit the cellars. The lake water is transparent and longs for swimming. Enjoy, the course is almost without climb.

A real discovery bike excursion, in Neuchâtel and its surroundings then while it was not planned in the program, we set off on a tour of the lake 😝. Great deal in the Cariçaie passage on the Portalban side where thanks to the rains of the night, the route was as muddy as could be, after a minor but dirty …
