At the beginning of the 20th century, Le Landeron had 17 restaurants/pubs for 1,400 inhabitants, or one establishment for 83 people! The vast majority lived less than 100 meters from a restaurant. Restaurants played an important role in daily life and the exhibition brings this atmosphere in Le Landeron back to life, a mirror of the society of yesteryear, as it applies to many other places.
