'''Lake Neuchâtel''' ({{lang-fr|Lac de Neuchâtel}}; {{lang-de|Neuenburgersee}}) is a [[lake]] in western [[Switzerland]]. The lake is mainly in the [[Cantons of Switzerland|canton]] of [[Canton of Neuchâtel|Neuchâtel]], but is also part of [[Canton of Vaud|Vaud]], [[Canton of Fribourg|Fribourg]], and [[Canton of Berne|Berne]]. [[Lake Geneva]] and [[Lake of Constance]] are larger, but the part of them that is in Switzerland is smaller. Lake Neuchatel is the largest lake entirely in Switzerland. It is the 59th largest lake in Europe. Tourism is important near the lake. Also, [[wine]] is made there (mainly [[white wine]]). The city of [[Neuchâtel]], on the lake, is known for [[watch]]-making, and [[Tapestry|tapestries]] called [[Indiennes]].
