Les 4 lacs du Jura
Alors que les Gorges du Verdon sont un point chaud animé, les lacs du Jura sont remplis de paix et de tranquillité. C'est notre dernier arrêt du road trip. Faites une randonnée autour des quatre lacs du Jura et profitez de la richesse gastronomique.
Hike around the 4 lakes of the Jura
Les quatre Lacs are 4 lakes in Jura: Lac de Narlay, Lac d’Ilay, Le Grand Maclu and Le Petit Maclu. They are right next to one another, and you can easily hike around the 4 lakes in 3 hours. You can drive all the way to any of the 4 lakes, and you’ll find free parking lots near each lake. We started our walk from the campsite at Lac de Narlay. Important to know is that the hike around the four lakes does not include the 'Belvedere des 4 lacs.' Many pictures on Google might suggest that with the hike, you will also have an amazing panorama over the lakes, but this is not the case. We were also tricked in believing this, so take this as a warning. To see the lake panorama at the Belvedere, you'll have to go by car. You can drive all the way up the cliffs, right next to the viewpoint. There’s a free parking lot on the side of the road, and it’s a short 2 minutes walk from the parking spot to the viewpoint.
Goûtez les aliments du Jura
Les gourmets ne seront pas en reste ! Des fromages tels que le Comté, le Morbier, la Tomme du Jura, le Bleu de Gex, le Mont d'Or, des vins locaux et des cépages uniques (Vin Jaune, Vin de Paille, Macvin, Savagnin, Chardonnay), et des viandes froides cuites (jambon fumé, saucisse de Morteau, etc.) font partie du patrimoine jurassien. Assurez-vous de les essayer lorsque vous êtes dans le Jura.
