Camping Tariche

The pretty little Porrentruy District town of Saint-Ursanne is about seven kilometres from the site: ask at the tourist information centre for details on the many local activities on offer such as canoeing and kayaking, paragliding, golf, archery, cycling, mountain biking and electric bike hire. Plenty of walking and cycling trails are in the area too. Saint-Ursanne is a handsome spot to wander around for an hour or two, with medieval buildings and a Romanesque church, and an 18th-century bridge over the Doubs river (this is the place to snap your photos). You could also clamber up the 190 steps of the hermitage of St. Ursicinus, or up to the castle ruins to Saint-Ursanne's north; pick up a 'St-Ursanne on Foot' flyer to plot your adventurous route. If you'd like to venture further, an 80-kilometre path runs from Saint-Ursanne along the Doubs to Les Brenets, via the Clos du Doubs nature reserve and spectacular views over the Vosges towards the Freiberg mountains. You'll also pass the caves of Réclère, caverns of a kilometre and a half (and many a stalactite) to potter through on a guided tour. A dinosaur park is also at the caves. Alsace and France are within easy reach, about 20 minutes' drive to the west.
