16 4 MICRO-RÉGIONS ONE AREA, FOUR LANDSCAPES

Jura - the name itself implies character, mystery - and indeed, visitors discover not one but several Juras, each one more breathtaking than the last. From the poetic ponds of Bresse to the snowy peaks of the Dole, Jura’s wonders unfurl like Russian dolls: the magic of the Chaux forest, Vignoble’s good living, the gentle pace of the lake district and the “Low Mountains”, the sumptuous Haut-Jura... Every step of the way, you will rave about another landscape, another spread of colour, another playground... And just when you think you have seen it all, the best is yet to be discovered: and it is all so unexpected!

Le Pays Dolois et Bresse Jurassienne [Between 200 and 400m ] Hidden away in the Pays Dolois and the Bresse Jurassienne regions of the north lie bucolic plains, hedged farmlands, ponds, leafy forests and rivers. Visitors to the noble Dole, local art and history town, will discover the town’s mysteries through forty-three listed buildings: the collegiate church, hotels, an ancient convent, the Municipal hotel and the historical town centre.

Le Pays Vignoble et Revermont [Between 200 and 500 m] The Pays Vignoble and Revermont regions blossom in the heart of Jura. This area is bound to take you by surprise: its villages (well-trodden or tucked away), UNESCO heritage sites, tropical-looking waterfalls and sunny vineyards. And to satisfy all the senses, arrange a visit to a local wine cellar to taste the special regional ‘vin jaune’.

Water becomes a greater part of the landscape: rivers re-emerge, majestic waterfalls are dotted across nature’s living wild. The Lakes, the quieter option, is the place to go for watersports or an invigorating walk from the marina to the beach.

Le Haut-Jura [Between 700 and 1720m] Gentle mountain landscapes are what the Haut Jura and its regional nature reserve do best. It is a unique place defi ned by its conifer forests, valleys, naturally emerging lakes, mountain crests, and protected fauna - and its unique know-how. It is nature’s own playground, the ideal spot for outdoors pursuits. And every season comes with an array of activities to try out.

105 TOURISM AND DISABILITY

he tourist sites displaying the national “Tourisme et Handicaps” (Tourism Tand Disabilities) sign ensure disabled people with reliable, descriptive and objective information concerning accessibility, taking into account all types of disability. The labelling system is based on four types of disability: motor, sight, hearing and mental. The “Tourisme et Handicaps” (Tourism and Disabili- ties) label is awarded after the location has been analysed by the assessors. Their assessment is based on a detailed table drafted using a national frame of reference. The « Tourisme et Handicaps » organisation can award accredita- tion for one, two, three or four disabilities.
