This used to be the village's washing fountain. Today you can rest there and take shelter when it rains

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.

Nestled at the foot of a beautiful mixed forest, the Etival lakes constitute an important wetland for the biodiversity of the Jura massif. A great run with stunning views included.

With its unique clock tower, this abbey gives its name to the lake and what a beautiful setting.

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.

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.
