From Sainte-Croix to Môtiers, a stage punctuated by the music of automatons.
Sainte-Croix is a village known for its musical automatons and acts as a good introduction to the remainder of the journey which takes us little by little to the watchmaking regions dominated by the tick-tocking sound of watches. On leaving Sainte-Croix, we head for the Neuchâtel region via the Col des Etroits. Passing through Buttes and Fleurier, the route lets you discover the enchanting landscapes of the Val-de-Travers, the birthplace of absinthe. The stage ends in the charming village of Môtiers.
