If there's a place that has escaped the passage of time, it's surely the village of Romainmôtier. Picturesque houses that almost all have a story to tell, artisans at work in their boutique-workshops, sober and grandiose buildings around the abbey. Also, at the town's entrance, do not miss the Clock Tower, an ancient 14th C. door along the surrounding wall and the 18th C. Maison de la Dîme built to store the wheat that was deducted as tax, and which today supports an exhibition on the abbey.
