Top 5 things to do in summer

1. The smell of drying hay, that sweet summer scent

For us, summer is first and foremost synonymous with hay and aftermath. It's the time when there's a light dew in the morning, a light morning mist that dissipates as soon as the sun warms up. It's the smell of drying hay, that sweet summer scent.

2. In summer it is nice and even in hot weather, we can breathe.

In summer, the weather is nice, it's pleasant, and even during a heatwave, we can breathe freely here. We can enjoy eating outside in the evening on the terrace and feel the air soften, then spend a good night in the cool air.

5. Find coolness, on the peaks, in the forests or near the rivers.

When it is hot, very hot, it is cool, on the summits, in the forests or near rivers: whether near the Doubs or the Dessoubre, or near the surrounding lakes, the temperature drops by a few degrees.

Little tips from locals:

You'd better have a little sweater in your bag, because the evenings can be chilly.

You'd better have a rain jacket in your backpack too when you go for a walk, summer can be synonymous with thunderstorms...
