Bletterans

If you’re looking for a hotel in Bletterans, you can plan your stay around specific local highlights: the Marché de Bletterans, the Brasserie Rouget de Lisle, the furnishings of the Eglise Notre Dame de Bletterans, or the Voie de la Bresse Jurassienne. The Mi-Septembre-Foire is another local event. For planning your dates, note that these highlights have different schedules: the market takes place weekly, brewery tours and tastings are limited to July and August, and the Voie is currently under construction. Check dates and visiting times before making firm plans.

Market visit on Tuesday

The Marché de Bletterans takes place every Tuesday morning in the Bletterans market hall. The day, time and location are therefore clear for a market visit; still, check the date again before you travel. The market is part of a local market offering between the Bresse and the Jura wine-growing areas. This broader offering includes markets featuring local producers and craftspeople, offering a way to explore the region’s gastronomic heritage. This lets you combine the regular weekly rhythm of the Marché de Bletterans with a broader look at regional market and food culture.

Brewery and seasonal tours

The Brasserie Rouget de Lisle is a microbrewery based in the Jura since 1994 and is among France’s first craft breweries. Its current range includes more than 15 beers in the La rouget and l’abbaye de Baume-les-Messieurs lines, as well as non-alcoholic drinks such as Jura Cola and Jura Lim. A visit can therefore focus both on the brewery’s history and its current product range. Brewery tours and tastings are offered daily in July and August, except on July 14 and August 15, and on Monday and Sunday mornings. These seasonal hours and exceptions are important when choosing a day to visit; confirm availability before your visit.

Church art spanning two centuries

The Eglise Notre Dame de Bletterans is located at 4 Rue Notre-Dame. Its furnishings include medieval choir stalls from the 15th century and a stucco altarpiece by the Marca brothers from the 18th century. These two works offer a specific art-historical theme: the choir stalls are medieval, while the altarpiece is a later work in stucco. If you include church art in your travel plans, the dates provide points of reference for placing the works in context. The address also helps you find your way around Bletterans.

The Voie de la Bresse Jurassienne

The Voie de la Bresse Jurassienne is located at Place de la Gare in Bletterans. The 53-kilometre cycle route follows a former railway line through the Bresse Jurassienne and the Plaine du Finage. The Voie is also currently under construction; it is intended to connect Lons-le-Saunier and Dole and link up with EuroVelo 6 and the Voie Bressane. For a cycling trip, the route description and construction status are separate planning considerations: check the current status of the route and its connections in advance.

The Mi-Septembre-Foire

The Mi-Septembre-Foire is organised by the municipality with support from local associations, and brings together agricultural traditions and modernity. It is another local event, in addition to the weekly market day and the seasonal brewery programme. If you’d like to include the fair in your travel plans, check the event dates and current programme.
