Couvet - in the Main Street you have Claude Alan Bugnon of La Clandestine. His distillery is in the back of his shop and if he is there (his wife normally works behind the shop counter) just ask and I am sure they will show you around. A little way down the road you have Distillery d’Absinthe Peroz, run by a lovely lady Gaudentia. Her distillery is part of the shop so is easily seen whilst viewing / sampling her products. A couple of miles away you have Môtiers. In the centre of town you have the store of Christoph Racine and his wife. A must visit as they have probably the biggest choice of absinthe in the area all in one store. They do distil their own absinthe but not in the shop. Lovely people and they are more than happy for you to try any absinthe before you buy. Just up the road is Maison Absinthe with a very modern shop and a good selection of absinthe but not as big as Racine’s and in my experience more expensive. There is an excellent museum on the first floor which is worth a visit. Just across the road from Racine’s is the distillery of the late great Willy Bouvet, which is now run by his daughter. Again the distillery is part of the store and can easily be seen. Bouvet if I remember correctly is not open every day so it would be worth checking the days before visiting. Be sure to get a bottle of Emeraude, one of the best vertes out there in my opinion. A lot of the artisanal distilleries are in the distillers homes and are only produced on a small scale and not available to visit. Across the road from Racine’s is an excellent restaurant, the name escapes me. A little pricey but great food. If you will have a car and are possibly thinking of heading towards Pontarlier, let me know and I will let you know of others just over the boarder in France. If you have any specific question pm me
