Saint-Claude
Small mountain town in eastern France's Jura department, Saint-Claude sits on the river Bienne amid highland terrain with scenic viewpoints in the surrounding area. It carries a café and restaurant scene that outpaces the town's size, and the wider Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region holds UNESCO World Heritage sites within reach.
