Gravel Le pont des Janiers

Gravel section close to Prénovel. Some larger rocks here and there, but overall a smooth gravel road.

Grandvaux Abbey

Highlight • Religious Site

The Abbey of Notre-Dame du Grandvaux justifies the name of the lake on the shores of which it sits. During its history, it has been neglected, downgraded and then occupied again several times.

The Lac de l'Abbaye is neither the best known nor the most spectacular of the Jura lakes. It still has its charm with beautiful lawns all around, conducive to siesta. Its abbey also contributes to the picturesque setting of this small lake.
