About Jura
The mountainous borderland between France and Switzerland, Jura is tranquil, unspoilt and idyllic. Nature lovers flock to discover the Haut-Jura Regional Natural Park, crowned with forested mountains and crystalline lakes which tumble into waterfalls. Pretty towns and villages sit amongst world-class vineyards, winding rivers and verdant fields. This sense of bucolic rural bliss continues at many of the best place to stay in Jura, tucked within gorgeous gardens and fit for a whole host of tastes and budgets, with options ranging from cosy B&Bs to fabulous restaurants with rooms and converted chateaux.
If you’re looking for historic landmarks, museums and excellent eateries, base yourself close to Lons-le-Saunier or Poligny, both of which are attractive little towns with red-tiled roofs and mountain vistas. The spa resort of Salins-les-Bains is ideal for unwinding, whilst Dole brims with art and history, and the beautiful medieval village of Baume-les-Messieurs — home to the Abbey of Saint Pierre — is a well-placed springboard for marvelling at impressive waterfalls of the Reculée de Baume.

Avid hikers and cyclists can follow the countless trails which weave their way between hills and farmland. Foodies, on the other hand, will delight in savouring Jura’s bounty of rich cheeses or tasting wine around Arbois and Château-Chalon. With so much to see and do in the area, the best places to stay in Jura fill up fast during the summer months. Book your trip well in advance!
