AROUND THE PANORAMA
We accompany you on an one hour excursion to the Val-de-Travers located in the Swiss part of the Jura mountain range, in the canton of Neuchatel (NE). The visitor is sent back to end of the 19th century, a time when people used to satiate their appetites for visual sensations by visiting panoramas.
We guide you through the events that took place during the winter of 1871. The Bourbaki Panorama – a European cultural monument – stands for humanity and solidarity. An astonishing story which has marked the Swiss identity until today.
