A friend and I had very nice days in Yverdon-les-bains in Switzerland. Beatrice and her husband have a nice house with flower garden near Lac de Neuchâtel. They are very friendly and helpful. We really felt in good hands. We didn't know Yverdon before, but we can recommend to go there. It's a nice town with thermal bath and beautiful nature reserve at the lake, called "Grande Cariçaie". If you're intrested in birdwatching, go to Champs Pittet.
