Good to know about the time in La Chaux-de-Fonds
La Chaux-de-Fonds is on the same time as Paris all year round, like the whole of Switzerland.
Together with neighbouring Le Locle, the town has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2009 for its watchmaking town planning: after the fire of 1794, it was rebuilt on a grid, with streets laid out to let light into the workshops. The major watch houses still make watches there. Time in Besançon
