About

The House of Absinthe, a must-see place for the "Green Fairy"! The cradle of absinthe is located in the heart of Val-de-Travers, where the famous Green Fairy took flight, survived a century of prohibition and where, today, twenty producers distill the famous elixir while five farmers cultivate the medicinal plants necessary for its manufacture. The development of this unique heritage and its history is at the House of Absinthe, Môtiers. Binding innovatively culture, economy and tourism, this center presents its history, with the mythical period of the underground and its recent evolutions. Between myth and reality, the visitor discovers the deep and authentic links that unite the plant, the drink, the terroir and the identity and to finish in beauty ... more than thirty kinds of absinthes are to be tasted!
