The Jura escape

From Dole to Saint-Claude (Jura)

Formerly the capital of the County of Burgundy, Dole is crossed by the Doubs River and is distinguished by its cobbled streets, its fine arts museum, and the majestic collegiate church of Notre-Dame. Arc-et-Senans is famous for its saltworks. Salins-les-Bains, with its thermal baths and history linked to saltwater, is an ideal stop for relaxation. Château-Chalon, one of the most beautiful villages in France, is renowned for its Jura wines and breathtaking views of the Saine Valley. The journey ends in Saint-Claude, famous for its pipes and craftsmanship. This town, nestled in the heart of the mountains, also offers numerous hiking opportunities in the Haut-Jura Regional Natural Park, as well as the chance to discover the gorges of La Langouette or the Hérisson waterfalls.
