At the end of the day, check into your Logis Les Cépages hotel in Arbois. Regional dinner and overnight stay.

Day 2: Arbois & Salins-les-Bains - Jura wines and historic salt

After a hearty breakfast, the morning begins with a tasting of Jura wines in a local cellar. Savagnin, vin jaune, macvin... unique aromas to discover in a warm atmosphere, accompanied by a mâchon jurassien, a traditional snack served à la bonne franquette.

Then it's on to Salins-les-Bains, the old salt-making town. Lunch in the restaurant will be at the Grand Hôtel des Bains, an old building that once adjoined the original salt works. You will then visit the spectacular Grande Saline, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with its underground gallery and historic buildings that bear witness to thousands of years of salt-making know-how.
