Another Swiss Road Trip

Today we went on a driving tour from our favorite driving tour book. This one took us to several places: La Chaux de Fonds, the birthplace of Le Corbusier the world famous architect. The ‘maison blanc’ (white house) is located here (although we arrived too late and weren’t able to take a look inside).

St. Ursanne is a sleepy little town in the middle of the Jura mountains. We decided to visit because John Howe, one of two illustrators that came up with the artistic vision for the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, lives there. Throughout the town they have fantasy creatures peeking over roof tops and coiled around the main bridge. They have a ‘treasure’ map you can follow to find all the installations. As an added bonus, there was a road race taking place and we got to see many Ferraris and other cars too. See all of the pictures from our Swiss road trips.
