L'Abbaye

Among the communities of Vaud, L'Abbaye stands out for its position on the southern shore of Lac de Joux, in the high Vallée de Joux of the Swiss Jura. The lake shapes local life, with wooded slopes rising behind the settlement and open water extending toward Le Pont. L'Abbaye takes its name from the Abbey of Lac de Joux, established in 1126; the monastery was dissolved during the Reformation in 1536. The wider valley is internationally associated with Swiss watchmaking, while this lakeside commune retains a rural character.
