Canton of Neuchatel is located in the northwestern part of Switzerland, bordering the French region of Franche-Comte to the west. It encompasses the northern shore of Lake Neuchatel, the largest lake entirely within Switzerland, and rises through vineyard terraces into the limestone Jura plateau. The canton is part of the French-speaking region of Switzerland known as Romandy and is home to approximately 180,000 residents. La Chaux-de-Fonds and Le Locle, both located on the Jura plateau, are jointly inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site recognising their planned watchmaking urban landscape. The Val-de-Travers valley is internationally recognised as the historical origin of absinthe production.
