歴史的な中心部を抜ける美しい通過

La Cluse-et-Mijoux is a pretty village nestled at the bottom of a valley in the Jura Mountains. Busy with cars heading to Switzerland, the town boasts a wide range of shops and services. History buffs can visit Fort de Joux or Fort Malher, which overlook La Cluse-et-Mijoux. Several chapels (Saint-Léger and Saint-Claude) also dot the outskirts of the town.

The complex is impressive even from the outside and, despite its 1,000-year-old and eventful history, is still in good condition. It has been continuously modernized to accommodate the latest military and artillery technologies.

Village located between the Joux fortified castle and Fort Malher

This beautiful neo-baroque building has been renovated several times before becoming, for the centenary of its foundation, a comfortable 460-seat performance hall, with a soul that delights artists and spectators. From 2020, the foyer on the first floor will be redeveloped into a second performance hall intended for small forms, and able to accommodate around sixty spectators. 150 meters from the station, overlooking a large pedestrian square and housing a friendly pizzeria with terrace on the ground floor, La Grange da Antonio, the TBB is a popular meeting place for spectators in the region.

Beautiful old town.

The old-fashioned but charming town of Orbe is located on a hill in a meander of the Orbe. From the Place du Marché, decorated by a fountain with a standard bearer (1753), a small street leads to the reformed church from the 15th-16th century (naves with interesting keystones) and further to the terrace of the former castle, which offers a beautiful view of the lower city and the Orbe valley.

The old town, which consists of a lower and an upper part, is really kitschy and beautiful. Small shops, many restaurants, colorful facades and the castle characterize Orbe.
