The monks of Saint-Claude are credited with establishing a monastery in the 6th century to the southwest of the Abbey Lake on the island known as sur la Motte. Then, probably having fallen into disuse for several centuries, a second monastery succeeded it in the 12th century (1172) built to the northeast of the lake on the current site of the hamlet of l'Abbaye by the canons of the Abbey of Abondance (Augustinians of Haute-Savoie). The status of abbey, served by a particular abbot, remained for a century, until the monastery was the subject of an exchange of goods between the abbot of Abondance and that of Saint-Claude. Once again dependent on the Abbey of Saint-Claude, the Abbey of Grandvaux regained the status of priory. From the fortified buildings of the 12th century, which were accessed by a drawbridge, there remains today an old farm building (called La Joséphine after the former owner of the place), a presbytery and a church, dedicated to Notre-Dame de la Nativité, like that of Abondance. The site has been listed since September 15, 1966. A site to discover through a stroll in 4 scenes, evoking the history of the site.

Very nice lake, unfortunately swimming is prohibited here

Around Lake Vouglans, the forest mixes with Jura geology marked by cliffs and rock. This gives rise to rock formations navigating in a universe that is both mineral and vegetal.

Lake L'Abbaye in the Jura Mountains is surrounded by hills and forests. Its clear waters reflect the landscape, offering a peaceful setting for boating, fishing, and hiking. Unfortunately, swimming is not permitted.

This lake is one of the lesser known in the Jura, but it has its place, with stunning views all year round and the abbey which is its jewel.

It is one of the most beautiful lakes in the Jura. Ideal for walking. Please note that swimming is prohibited.

The Lac de l'Abbaye is neither the best known nor the most spectacular of the Jura lakes. It still has its charm with beautiful lawns all around, conducive to siesta. Its abbey also contributes to the picturesque setting of this small lake.

Lying at the foot of a beautiful mixed forest, the Etival lakes represent an important wetland for the biodiversity of the Jura massif. Isolated, and therefore little exposed to light, these lakes make an ideal observation site for watching the stars. Please note that swimming is prohibited.
