What to do in Franche Comté?


Located in the East of France, Franche-Comté is composed of four departments: Haute-Saône, Doubs, Jura and Territoire de Belfort. Whether it is the natural sites, the lakes of the Jura or the regional nature park, this area is ideal for a breath of fresh air on the Swiss border. Many treasures are hidden in the landscapes of this region. Indeed, castles, spa towns, museums and leisure centres will satisfy young and old alike!

Let's go for the adventure: with family or friends, travel the wine route, taste regional products and visit four of France's most beautiful villages. Start the meal with a Morteau sausage, continue with a Comtoise fondue and taste the Arbois wine. Then once you have visited the tourist sites, opt for a holiday in the mountains and try archery, paragliding, via ferrata or caving in the Jura Mountains. In addition, hiking, cycling and horseback riding on the marked trails are perfect to discover the Cascades du Hérisson or observe the chamois in the mountain pastures! Adventure and nature lovers will be able to learn about a survival course. More than a walk in the woods, learn to be in harmony with nature and use its resources to manage in complete autonomy. 

Also, the lake country, including the Vouglans lake or the Chalain lake, is the ideal place for an open-air picnic by the lake. But maybe you prefer snow and winter? There are many activities on offer, making this region a real playground: alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, nordic skiing, sled dogs, there is something for everyone! Thus, you can enjoy a wooden chalet for a warm ski holiday.

On the other hand, for a quieter family holiday, Franche-Comté has a rich historical heritage! Take the tourist train for cultural excursions to the citadel of Belfort or Besançon. Children will be amazed by the impressive Lion, sculpted by Bartholdi at the end of the 19th century and now overlooking Belfort. So don't hesitate any longer and try the Franche-Comté adventure with your family and friends. Whatever your desires and objectives of your stay, you will find your happiness there!
