Regional Nature Reserve of the Bief de Nanchez Peat Bogs

Highlight • Natural

A very beautiful walking route through the peat bog to understand the specificities of this natural environment. The regional nature reserve is part of the Ramsar site "Lakes and peat bogs of the Jura Massif".

Church of Our Lady of the Nativity of the Abbey and Abbey Site of Grandvaux

Highlight • Religious Site

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.

Abbey Lake

Highlight • Lake

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.

Grandvaux Abbey

Highlight • Religious Site

The Abbey of Notre-Dame du Grandvaux justifies the name of the lake on the shores of which it sits. During its history, it has been neglected, downgraded and then occupied again several times.
