레 루시스‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪9‬개의 호수

Bikepacking trip with a night bivouac on the shores of Lac des Rousses, beach side. Very windy at night, so wrap up warm. Otherwise, a magnificent lake with few people (early August).

A very nice border village to relax in after a bike ride (from Geneva in our case). We spent the afternoon and a night camping near the lake. Shops nearby for supplies 👍

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.

Lake Lamoura is the highest in the Jura. Located at the foot of the Massacre forest, in a preserved natural setting, the lake offers exceptional flora. Peat bogs, aquatic moss, meadows, in short, it's magnificent! Games for children and a picnic area have been set up at the edge of the lake and swimming is permitted there.
