Les Bois: Les Murs: Golf Club Les Bois
Built around clearings carved from the forests of the Franches-Montagnes, Les Bois grew into a rural municipality on the Swiss Jura plateau. Pastures, hedged fields and conifer stands shape its gently rolling terrain, where farming remains central to local life. The village lies in the Jura Mountains near the French border, in a region associated with the Franches-Montagnes horse breed and the Swiss watchmaking tradition. Les Bois is also home to a golf course, whose fairways and ponds create a manicured counterpoint to the surrounding countryside. It is a compact Jura settlement where agricultural land, woodland and recreation meet.

Les Bois occupies a high karst plateau in the Franches-Montagnes district of Switzerland’s Jura. Pasture woodland, dry-stone walls and isolated farmsteads give this upland commune its recognisable Jura character, while the deeply cut valley of the Doubs River lies nearby towards the French border. The village is served by the Chemins de fer du Jura line, linking it with La Chaux-de-Fonds and Saignelégier. Horse breeding remains part of the identity of the Franches-Montagnes, home of the Swiss Franches-Montagnes breed. Walking and cycling routes cross open grazing land and wooded folds rather than an urban centre.

Jura is best known within Switzerland for being the country’s youngest canton, created in 1979. Centred on its capital, Delémont, this French-speaking region lies among the folded limestone ridges and wooded valleys of the Swiss Jura. The Doubs forms part of the border with France, while the open plateaux of the Franches-Montagnes are associated with horse breeding. Porrentruy, formerly a residence of the prince-bishops of Basel, recalls the area’s long connection with the Bishopric of Basel. A strong Francophone identity and rural mountain setting set Jura apart from Switzerland’s high Alpine regions.

Switzerland stretches from the Jura Mountains in the northwest to the Alps in the south, encompassing a central plateau of cities, farms and lakes. The Rhine rises in the Swiss Alps, while Lake Geneva forms part of the country’s southwestern border. Zürich, Geneva and Basel are major urban centres, yet mountain railways and passes remain central to how many regions are experienced. Four national languages—German, French, Italian and Romansh—reflect Switzerland’s distinct cantonal identities. The Matterhorn above Zermatt is among Europe’s most recognisable peaks, and the 1291 Federal Charter is closely associated with the country’s founding tradition.
