Chaux-de-fonds

After touring La Maison Blanche, we spent a little time walking around Chaux-de-fonds. The story goes that Le Corbusier was inspired to become an architect because he thought his hometown was ugly. But I personally found it to be rather charming.

It is unique among other Swiss cities I've visited up to this point because it was purposefully laid out on a grid system - so you can see all the way down a street for several block.
