Right in the heart of the Jura's lake district, summer here is a nature-lover's paradise. The area is very rightly known as the Jura's Lake District, because there's water everywhere: water from the Jura mountains springs forth, carving out astonishing gorges, rushing into waterfalls, resting in peaceful lakes, metamorphosing into a river then disappearing into the rock...before bursting forth again before your very eyes!

A land of water and forests, the Jura's lake district is a place where you can breathe, in peaceful, natural surroundings, and see some amazing sights too.
