Tourism
Discover France's smallest département, tucked between the Vosges and the Jura, close to Alsace, Switzerland and Germany.
Get away from it all in the Southern Vosges which descend from the Ballon d'Alsace down to Malsaucy Lake.
Find spectacular viewpoints amongst the Jura mountains to the south.
