The Hôtel DuPeyrou currently has magnificent tulip beds in its garden.

Sphinxes at the Hôtel DuPeyrou

The entrance to the grounds of the Hôtel DuPeyrou is flanked by two sphinxes. Many of the older buildings
in town were built with yellow limestone, which Alexander Dumas said made Neuchatel appear to have been
carved out of butter.
