3Jura, France
The Jura region in eastern France is perfect for travelers who want mountains without the atmosphere of Europe’s busiest alpine resorts.
Forests, waterfalls, vineyards, lakes, limestone cliffs, and small villages dominate the landscape. The region is also famous for its cheeses and distinctive wines, making it particularly appealing to food-focused travelers.
Instead of navigating crowded resort towns, visitors can spend their days hiking through forests, visiting quiet villages, tasting local products, and enjoying spectacular scenery at their own pace.
