Deep in the mountains of the Jura, in Franche-Comte, we stayed at Castel Damandre in Arbois. Such a different landscape than all of the vast farmlands we had just driven through. It was hilly and lush. We hiked to this beautiful waterfall right from our hotel! Arbois was the home to Louis Pasteur and seemed like such an interesting choice...being so far away from any bustling city. If we had had more time in the area, we could have gone rafting, fishing, canoeing, horseback riding, and, of course, wine tasting. It's an adventurous part of France that we never knew about until we needed a stop-over place on our way to Switzerland. Ah, what road tripping opens your eyes to.
