Louis Pasteur’s home town of Arbois is delightful. The Closerie les Capucines is a stylish chambre d’hotes in a 17th-century convent with a garden running down to the Cuisance river. Thirty minutes’ drive south, through the gently hilly Revermont countryside, is Mirebel. Sophie and Hugo Meyer have been running the Mirabilis restaurant in the village since 1998 and use local produce (such as trout, Bresse chicken, morteau sausage). Continue south, through Lons-le-Saunier, birthplace of the composer of La Marseillaise, and home to two excellent bookshops and some superb chocolatiers. Close to Orbagna is the new La Caborde wine growers’ centre (lacaborde-jura.fr), with exhibitions and wine tastings.
