The capital of the Jura département in eastern France, Lons-le-Saunier takes its name from the salt springs first exploited by the Romans, which drove the town's prosperity through the Middle Ages. Its walkable centre is dense with listed buildings, cafés, and restaurants, and the surrounding region offers vineyards, mountain scenery, and several UNESCO World Heritage sites within reach.
