Porrentruy
This small French-speaking Swiss town in the canton of Jura has a café and restaurant scene that outpaces the town's size, with vineyards in the surrounding Ajoie region and scenic countryside nearby. The historic centre holds a castle, an old town with fountains, St. Pierre Church, and the Church and College of the Jesuits, giving the town a concentrated architectural record for its scale. HC Ajoie, the local National League ice hockey team, adds a sporting draw.
