The Jura is synonymous of magic and varied landscapes. From plain which skirts Bourgogne to the mountains which separate it from Switzerland, this area is a succession of soils with marked identity. Small valleys all carefully in the North of Dole, bluish mosaic ponds of the Bresse, vineyards of Revermont crimped of moved back, small folded Mountain of peaks, marked out plates of insulated villages, area of the Lakes so appraisal in summer, the High-Jura with mounts crossed by torrents and cascades, every landscape is unique.
Admittedly, the landscapes are different but only one glance allows affirming they belong to the same Jurassic ground. Light of the sky and water, rivers cherished trees, colors of the limestone cliffs, minor sinuous roads, infinite extents, quiet valleys, charming villages and omnipresent forests are some of the elements which testify to the essential characteristics of the Jura. Of course, there is some more that need patience to be discovered. Because this ground cultivates also discretion, and a certain taste of secrecies, it that will be able to deliver to those who want to discover more. 5 000 km² of surface, 252 000 inhabitants, 545 townships (of which 87 % have less than 500 souls)... and of the trees which cover 46 % with surface. If this wooded presence gave its green image to the Jura, if it shelters the lynx and the stag, if it offers tourist rich person opportunities, it also nourished know-how who forged craft industry and industry.
A visit in forest “Forêt de Chauxî, on the path of the “guêpierî and to the “huts of the 14î, will remind the troop of old trades related to the transformation of the trunks. And it is in the High-Jura that one will the astonish by real strength by the companies which knew non to draw their experiment in the workshops turners, pipe, concise or manufacturers of toys.
The Jura, country where the present is inspired by the past.
Always well alive, these activities are certainly not relegated to a past folk and the force of Jurassian economy is to have known non to adapt to new materials without making close-cropped table of the traditional methods. It's the reason why cohabit plays out of woods, toys out of plastic, objects turned, metal glasses or acetate and precision tool industries. History of the Jura was also worked by salt, so abundant in the ground, whose exploitation made the fame of Salins-Les-Bains and justified the extraordinary construction of the Royal saline of Arc-Et-Senans. And of course, salt always enriches the benefits of thermal springs of Lons-Le-Saunier and Salins-Les-Bains for the pleasure of the amateurs by baths by youth.
The salt which tease the mouth is occasion to evoke the pleasures gastronomy which illustrate also the Jurassian will to preserve principles of rigorous manufacture so that perdure quality. The cheeses which are the Comté and Morbier answer constraints which are the pledge of products knowing rimer with gastronomy fully. They goes along another emblem of the Jura : wine... or rather : its wines ! White wine, red wine, rosy wine, yellow wine, wine of straw, Crémant, Macvin, Marc, brandy, here, as well, the vine growers of Revermont cultivate differences and diversity.
