Sainte-Croix / Les Rasses

Stretching from L’Auberson, via Sainte-Croix and Bullet to Mauborget, the Balcon du Jura is the ideal destination for nature lovers.

With its rich industrial past, Sainte-Croix’s music boxes and automata are renowned far and wide. Today, industry and craftsmanship are still very much alive: automaton manufacturers and various craftsmen keep the mechanical arts alive. The MuMAPS, Musée de la Mécanique d’Art et du Patrimoine de Sainte-Croix, is the place to discover these treasures and explore the history of the Balcon du Jura.
