The Étang des Royes is a little less known than its nearby big brother, Étang de la Gruere, but no less beautiful! If you want to enjoy a little more tranquility, this is the right place.

The Etang des Royes is a haven of peace, far from the crowds that can be encountered around the Etang de la Gruère. Take the time to take a break by the water and enjoy this magnificent setting in the heart of the Franches-Montagnes.
