Lac de Chalain is the largest natural lake in the Jura. Of glacial origin, this lake covers the entire bottom of the Chalain valley with turquoise, which marks a long breakthrough on the second plateau of the Jura massif.
The towns of Fonttenu, Marigny, Doucier, installed on the edges or the heights of the lake offer very beautiful points of view, peaceful beaches, campsites at the edge of the water, hiking trails. It is one of the most beautiful lakes in the country of Jura lakes and waterfalls.
