Syam Castle and Ironworks

Highlight • Castle

This former house of the master of the Syam ironworks Jean-Emmanuel Jobez impresses with its incongruity. This castle, which is inspired by Italian culture, is also called Villa Palatina. Close to the forges, this building and the stables that go with it are however built at a good distance to avoid the noise pollution of the industrial steel site on the riverbank.

This place is surprising in the heart of the Jura. Although the residence is private property, the rooms on the ground floor and the important library on the top floor are open to visitors.

The stables host various events.

Pertes de l'Ain

Highlight • River

Several million years ago, the Ain was lost underground, in a labyrinth of cavities, an underground gallery called "losses". Over time, the work of water erosion has done its work, and has nibbled the limestone and destroyed the vault of the underground gallery. It remains today a unique natural site where water makes its way between rocky piles and stone remains.

Champagnole

Highlight • Settlement

Located at the gates of the Haut-Jura regional natural park, Champagnole is also considered the “pearl of the Jura”. Perched at an altitude of 540 meters on the banks of the Ain, the town is located in a wonderful natural setting. There is also an archaeological museum due to the discovery of remains on Mont Rivel.
