Very nice view of the Doubs marsh between the Lac de Remoray and the Lac de Saint-Point. In the background you can see the Grand Taureau mountain

nice picnic spot.

Very pretty little town.

This lake, known for its bright blue water, crosses the Doubs in a 'valley'. This lake once formed one large body of water together with Lake Remoray. The lake is 6.3 km long and 800m wide, making it the fourth largest natural lake in France. In winter it freezes. By constructing a dam on the north side, it helps regulate the water of the Doubs.

Pontarlier is a mountain town located 837 meters above sea level in the heart of the Jura Mountains. As the capital of Haut Doubs, it is located at the entrance to a vast area of protected natural areas, where forests, lakes and green meadows are essential for the production of Mont d'Or and Comté cheese. Pontarlier was once known worldwide for its production of absinthe at the beginning of the last century. Today, the city has revived this tradition, with two distilleries once again producing absinthe.

Lake Remoray is one of the richest areas of Doubs in terms of nature. On this 430 hectare site there are numerous plant and animal species due to the wide variety of natural environments (marshes, lakes, peat bogs, forests, meadows, gravel pits, rivers), and also at altitude. 1872 species are currently recorded there.

Third largest natural lake in France with its 398 hectares. Whatever the season, we never tire of observing it from the road.

ACTUALLY It's a must, very pleasant to do, little elevation gain, done by road bike, the views are magnificent so I often stop to take photos!
