Tourist Attractions & Monuments Jura

At 6 km from Château-Chalon, an amazing site that could compete in the remote of Baume-les-Messieurs. Lédoniens are many on the hiking trail on Sundays. Well indicated, it leaves Blois-sur-fit and carries out a loop at the bottom of the remote. In particular, we discovered the old milk cable that was feeding the village once. The view makes it possible to appreciate the beauty of the landscape. We can then understand how the Jura formed a few million years ago: an exceptional place. For nibble, on-site restaurant or hostel on the farm in Fay-en-Montagne

It can be accessed from Doucier via the D326. The landscape is superb, with lakes and forests reflected in the waters. After the receptacles of the waters of the Hedgehog waterfalls, here is the shattering and tumultuous torrent. He suddenly becomes silent. The 49-hectare Val surpasses its neighbour Chambly, which extends over 35 hectares. It is more marshy and its rush-lined banks are difficult to access. To admire them from above, we advise you to go up to the Dame Blanche lookout, accessible by a forest road, then a path, from the village of Saugeot. The view embraces the entire Hérisson valley. Great! Great!

Lake Den boasts more than one title. Its waters disappear in the ground and emerged at the Gallo-Roman sanctuary of Villards d'Héria, after an unknown underground journey of 12 hours. Was there a mysteriously disappeared city near the lake? Nothing is less secure. But a temple dedicated to Mars was erected in antiquity. In the th century, the hydrogeological specificity of the site was exploited: hydraulic machines are installed below the lake. Valves are opened and closed to regulate their operation. A beautiful walk on the GR 9 leads to the belvédère rock belvedere which dominates the lake at 961 m above sea level. Do not hesitate to take the climb, because if it is not possible to approach the banks by the bottom, this belvedere offers a superb view of the lake of Den, set in a dark setting of trees and cliffs. Beyond that, we also see the Jura peaks and, in clear time, to Geneva.

Two different paths, built and equipped with stairs, descend into this waterfall. Also known as Saut Claude Roy, it is part of the picturesque Jura sites. La plunges 28 metres in two successive falls. Next to the parking lot, an open snack in summer shows the tourist interest of the place. The first trail starts at the level of this bar, the second one a hundred meters further.

The impressive church Saint-Nithier is of Romanesque construction. If it retained a few remains of the th century, it was several times reworked. In 1652, the entrance was reversed with the choir and a fire devastated it in 1637. Inside, visitors can discover th century stalls from the abbey of Baume-les-Messieurs. There are also five remarkable paintings of the th century masters, who were previously at the Château de Versailles! The beautiful Clocher tiles are typically comtois.

Formerly known as «bridge des Butchers», because abattoirs were right next door, this bridge is located on the ancient fortifications of Arbois and was a target when Louis XIV's troops, at war against Spain, attacked the city in 1674.

Built in 1806 by the architect Lapret, the fountain in the centre of the square is decorated with four lions symbolizing Franche-Comté. You can admire its th-century arcades. Prior to Urbanisation urbanization in the th century, these were uninterrupted. We then destroyed the most beautiful house of the square to build a new street, rue Delort, named in homage to a native Napoleon of the city. Today, surrounded by shops and vaults, square is a central location where the main streets of Arbois converge.

This beautiful pedestrian bridge dates back to the th century. It connects Faramand street to rue de la Tour. It is one of the monuments that makes it so bucolic in the capital of Jura wines. Do not hesitate to cross it, you will have the impression of crossing the centuries!

The lacets road connecting Saint-Claude to Septmoncel allows to admire a geological fold, of which the form so special, recalls a bicorne, the emblematic couvre couvre napoleonic napoleonic. This natural curiosity, on which a waterfall is formed in rainy times, is visible on your left, when you climb towards Septmoncel. A small car park is set up on your right, facing the Chapeau de Gendarme, to allow you to observe it more closely. For sportsmen, nature lovers or those whose stomach does not appreciate lacets turns, it is possible to access them by following a hiking circuit from Saint-Claude or Septmoncel (duration: from 1 h to 6 h 30 depending on the course chosen). On your way you can also discover the waterfalls of the.

From Saint-Claude, take the direction of Geneva, Septmoncel, and then Du municipal camping. In the hamlet Le Martinet you can park on the small square of the village or follow the sign on the left towards the Gorges gorges and park a few hundred meters further, on a small, improvised parking. There are various marked trails (from easy to very, very sporty). You can opt for the Tour de la Gorges, the Cascades Promenade, the White Rock Belvedere or the Chapeau de chapeau de De. Count from a. m. to a. m. on the route chosen. The Flumen is a tributary of Parr and the waterfalls are outbreaks. They plunge into a preserved circus, classified as a natural heritage of national interest. They are accessible through a unique path: Make good shoes and count 1 hours round round. In summer, in warm weather or summer, the site is fresh and pleasant, as bordered by the forest. Practicable in any season, however, we advise you to carry out Cascades walk after rain or in winter when it freezes. It is simply splendid.

Michel Menin, the man who is the orchestra of the site, is full of ideas to make changes and improvements to this unique garden from one year to the next. His latest discovery is "L'Acroroche", a program for "kids" evolving between traditional and original workshops, zip lines with passages on rocky ledges and in the middle of the wall. Young and old alike are having a great time in this dishevelled area. Starting with the vegetable labyrinth of hornbeam that the landscape gardener-funambulist has created over more than 2.5 km. This playful journey is punctuated by deforming ice, sculptures, unusual objects and a mysterious cave. A great place in the heart of the countryside to spend an active day with family or friends without breaking the bank.
