- 2nd day La Fete de L´Absinthe in Boveresse - |
|
|
After a very nice evening with the Green Fairy (little fairies dancing in my head..) the agenda for our second day was the absinthe Festival in Boveresse. Our hotel was in the nearby town Couvet which is also known for its absinthe roots. For example in the times of the Belle Epoque Pernod Fils had a second distillery here besides their headquarter in Ponatrlier. Nowadays the only legal swiss absinthe Kübler is distilled in Couvet. Of course we made a visit and although everything was closed we took some pictures with our James Bond spy camera...
