Between July and August, you can swim in Jura Department’s lakes, but boating is not allowed. You can also camp or hike in the countryside, see old settlements, or try out local delicacies. To help you make the best of your stay, there are many quaint places where you can reside for the weekend, including cottages, lakeside abodes, and farmhouses.
