Doubs Vacation RentalModern apartments in a craggy valley in spectacular walking country

Skiing: The Jura Mountains are particularly noted for facilities for cross-country skiing, and there are trails everywhere. Given enough snow, the nearest such trail is 10 minutes from the apartments. Equipment hire facilities abound. For downhill skiing the nearest reasonable slopes are 40 minutes away. The cost of skiing (hire, lifts, restaurants, etc) in the Jura (above Pontarlier, Metabief, Les Rousses etc) tends to be rather less than in the more fashionable resorts in the nearby Alps. That said, the latter are also reasonably accessible from the apartments. Local resorts also have beginners' facilities and toboggan areas.

Golf and Watersports: There are three golf courses within reasonable reach, the nearest about 35 minutes away. Details from the owner. Although indoor/outdoor pool and river swimming facilities can be enjoyed close to the village, the two local lakes (each 40 minutes away) are recommended for a wide range of aquatic activities.

Local facilities: There are two public telephones in the village. Bouygues has the best mobile phone reception. Nearest food shop, cash distributor, post office and petrol are at Amancey 10 minutes' drive away. However, there is a greater choice of such facilities, together with others, in Salins-les-Bains, the local market town, 15 minutes away at the northern end of the local 'Cotes du Jura' wine area. The nearest city, 40 minutes away, is Besancon with Hypermarkets and more sophisticated shopping facilities. There are very many good restaurants (for both local and national cuisine) and picnic facilities in the area and wider region.

Guest Book: Sad to be going - perfect situation, superb region. Francis totally helpful and hospitable -- Breach Family, Aug '04. The Jura is a new part of France for us and very attractive. We shall recommend it to friends - Chase Family, Sep' 04. Francis has been a mine of useful information and he knows the area so well. One week is far too short a time to experience this region in full, and I am sure we will be back. - Davis Family, Aug '05 We've had a wonderful fortnight here - restful and very comfortable. We're planning to do it all again next year - Eastop Family, Aug '05. We found the fresh air very tiring (but) hopefully we will be going home much fitter despite the food and wine - Robinson Family, Sep '05. This is a truly beautiful part of the world. Thank you to Francis for his hospitality and willingness to answer all our questions about the area - Connolly family, Mar '06. Had a fantastic and relaxing week. Some great walks.
