Fauna and Flora

You will be able to recharge your batteries on the hiking trails. It's not unusual to come across a doe, a fox or any of the other wild animals that inhabit our undergrowth. And if you're lucky, you might even spot a lynx...
You won't be outdone when it comes to flora, as the Jura is renowned for its biodiversity, particularly the peat bogs and their rare plants at Bonlieu... Finally, when the region dons its autumn coat, the light and colours are a delight for photography enthusiasts...
