Jumping Doubs, Les Brenets, Franche-Comte, France
This pretty 27m high waterfall nestled in a forested lakeside setting happened to be a rare transnational waterfall (shared between France and Switzerland).
The waterfall also provided us an excuse to experience the quiet and relaxing Nature within the Jura Mountains of the Franche-Comté region (also known as le pays qui respire or literally “the country that breathes”) as well as the canton of Neuchâtel in Switzerland (same ecosystem and geography but just different names and political administrations).
The easiest and most straightforward way in which we experienced this waterfall was to drive to the community of Les Brenets (on the Switzerland side) and then catch one of the boat rides across Doubs Lake to the small hamlet (consisting of a few cafes, boat docks, and shops for both countries) above Saut du Doubs.
