La Voie Verte du Jura : Une Piste Cyclable Chargée d'Histoire et de Nature
The Voie Verte du Jura, a cycle and footpath winding through the picturesque Jura landscape, is a prime destination for cyclists, walkers and outdoor enthusiasts. Built on the route of a former railway line, this greenway is a perfect example of how industrial heritage can be reused to create recreational and ecological areas. Discover its history, its features and the activities it offers for an unforgettable stay in the Jura.
History of the Voie Verte du Jura
The origins of the Voie Verte du Jura go back to the days when railways were the dominant means of transporting goods and passengers across France. With the decline of rail transport in favour of road and air transport, many lines were gradually abandoned. In the 1990s, an initiative was launched to transform these former railway lines into trails dedicated to non-motorised modes of transport. The Voie Verte du Jura was thus created, offering a new use for this heritage while preserving the environment.
Features of the Greenway
The Voie Verte du Jura is renowned for its ease of access and relatively flat route, making it ideal for all ages and fitness levels. The route passes through deciduous and coniferous forests, skirts peaceful rivers, and offers breathtaking views of the rolling Jura countryside. With several access and rest points equipped with benches and picnic tables, it is perfectly suited to day trips or walks lasting a few hours.
