The Jura Mountains
Hosts Guy and Marie have turned Hôtel Vauban into a home away from home for travellers passing through. More than 200 whimsical oil paintings by local artists cover its walls. The mid-sized rooms are made bright and welcoming with flashes of lime green, wall decals and fuzzy rugs, and there's a lovely flower garden out back. Add breakfast for €9.
It's situated one long block northeast, along the river, from the tourist office. There's free street parking.
