Switzerland
Couvet, Switzerland - where it all started in 1797. Located in the beautiful Val de Travers near the French border, and just across the French town of Pontarlier. Pernod had production in Couvet, as did many other distillers and many of the finest absinthes came from the Val de Travers region.
