Lac d'Ilay, Jura

Description: Near the village of Ilay are a series of wonderful lakes. Relatively unknown and peaceful, these are superb for swimming. Lac d'Ilay is the largest and shallowest, the water is warm, and there is a grassy area that leads down to the beach. The early mornings here are particularly atmospheric, when great swathes of mist rise up over the lake. Nearby Lac de Narlay has a shoreside campsite and also a small cliff area for jumping and diving.
