Archaeology handicrafts and science and technology sites to visit Jura

853 meters above sea level, forts and steep slopes... Mont Poupet is not only one of the most beautiful peaks on the edge of the Jura. It's also a paradise for hikers. At the start of the parking lot, under the cross, a belvedere (accessible to people with reduced mobility) offers a superb panoramic view. And that's not all: from Salins, a 10.2 km climb with a 512 m vertical drop awaits you. But your efforts will be amply rewarded! Breathtaking.

You will not be able to buy here your bathroom made in Jura because the factory does not sell its products directly to the people. But do not hesitate to discover in the show the new models of Sanijura… The company designs, manufactures and markets for more than 60 years a whole range that even includes adapted furniture for people with reduced mobility. Recognized for its innovation and quality, this dynamic company has renewed its catalogue as well as its production tool in recent years.

The trail du Loup-Werewolf is a trail marked by various panels on life in the greenhouse massif and its heritage. The itinerary passes through a painted fresco which represents the history of the werewolf valley of the Angels Valley. In 1573, famine in the region was in the region, children were kidnapped and eaten… The Parliament of Dole allowed villagers to organize a hunting against this horrible werewolf. Gilles Garnier, a hermit living in the forest, is arrested and tried. Was he really the culprit? Historians are still questioning today. But this story is just a bad memory. Following the trail, we also learn about other, less frightening aspects of the greenhouse massif.
