Emilie's opinion

I loved this little piece of paradise on the peninsula in the heart of the Jura! Here you can recharge in the middle of nature, between the birds singing and the calm waters of the lake. A small beach nearby for swimming, canoes to rent on site, and even a fishing spot… pure happiness! And for food lovers, the covered market of Saint-Claude with its fresh Comté cheese… a nature-filled and tasty holiday at the same time!

Emilie's opinion

💚 I completely fell in love with this campsite set on the shores of a stunning lake! Waking up with the water at your doorstep and heading on foot or by bike to the charming village of Clairvaux-les-Lacs is pure bliss. Choosing between a dip in the pool or a swim in the lake is the hardest part! I loved the walks to the Hérisson Waterfalls and Baume-les-Messieurs, a beautiful village with a cave and an abbey. For the more adventurous, the Belvédère des 4 Lacs and Lake Vouglans are must-sees! This is the perfect destination for a nature-filled and rejuvenating holiday 🌿💦
