La Chaux-de-Fonds at a glance
La Chaux-de-Fonds sits at around 1,000 metres in the Neuchâtel Jura, not far from the French border, and is one of the highest towns in Switzerland. Rebuilt on a grid plan after a fire in 1794, it grew with the watch industry, and together with Le Locle it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its watchmaking town planning. The language is French, and Le Corbusier was born here. Much of the housing is in long rows of older blocks of rented flats, so moving help, end-of-tenancy cleaning, furniture assembly and small repairs are frequent needs, as are errands and computer help for older residents. Winters are long and snowy at this altitude – worth keeping in mind when you plan a move.
