Apartment building

A building with a variety of shutter colors next to Zak's work.

La Neuveville

Colorful homes in the old part of La Neuveville, a small town on Lake Bienne/Biel.

More cabins

Chevrons are a common decorative element in Switzerland.

Clock tower and knight

Another plaza whose name I'll discover next week. The road on the right leads to the castle. The fountain

at the center topped by the knight banneret dates from 1581.

Colombier shop

We trekked down to Colombier last weekend to visit a quilt shop. I found the round window and 

shutter on a neighboring shop to be charming.

Boudry's old town

The colorful homes in Boudry's old town, on the road up to the castle.

Avenches château

Avenches' castle, built in the mid-1500s.

Tiny vineyards

There is no such thing as too little land for a vineyard. This building houses Hauterive's communal administration.
It also has 10 grape vines in its small, south-facing yard.

Auberge in Hauterive

Hauterive is a neighboring town to Neuchâtel. Local shutters are yellow and blue.

Abbaye de Fontaine-André

We have passed this abbey, which sits above Neuchâtel, several times on our long Sunday walks. 

The striped shutters are common in our part of Switzerland. www.fontaine-andre.ch
