4.5 Les Grottes de Réclère (52 reviews)
- Impressive and interesting tour!
Monday: 11:30 AM - 3:45 PM Spent 1-2 hours Caverns & Caves

We were quite happy with the tour and tour guide. The cave is really big and impressive. Well maintained. The tour is 1.5km long, takes 50 minutes roughly. Has approx 500 steps. So no strollers. It was a bit difficult for our daughters who are still a bit young (1 & 3) to stay interested for the 50 minutes of the tour, but our fault. Our guide spoke French and German. The tour is in both languages. No English. At the end, they ask for a little tip so have a few coins with you if you appreciated the tour. Cost: 10chf per adult, or 15chf with the Prehisto-parc if you buy the combo. Parking is free, out front. Make sure you pack warm clothes, beanies and scarfs as it is 7 degrees down there! See more..

Le Jardin botanique accueille annuellement plus de 15 000 visiteurs. Le jardin extérieur présente différentes plantations dont un parc arborisé avec de grands arbres centenaires, une collection de plus de 80 variétés de roses et 180 d’iris qui encadre le « système » et le Jardin jurassien qui présente pas moins de 800 espèces de plantes indigènes. Par la reconstitution de différents environnements végétaux, les serres créées en 1961, plongent le visiteur dans des atmosphères contrastées. Certaines de ces collections sont de référence, comme les cactées et les Tillandsia. Le Jardin botanique s’étend aussi autour du Muséum où d’anciennes variétés fruitières d’Ajoie sont conservées dans un arboretum. See more..

JURASSICA is a multi-site museum and university institution supported by the Jules Thurmann Foundation. Today, the institution is a Swiss reference in terms of the natural sciences of the Jura arc, whose two poles of excellence are paleontology and botany. Its organization is original in many respects as it includes: • A museum; • A botanical garden, living transplant of its museum spaces; • An auxiliary scientific service in geosciences, an academic label recognized for its contribution to research and teaching; • Satellites, real experimental points on the ground. The heritage of which it has the conservation and the management is also exceptional, in particular by its collections of dinosaur footprints or even its fauna of marine vertebrates of Jurassic.

- The Leaning Tower of Delémont
Spent < 1 hour Churches & Cathedrals

The church is large, airy and light because it does not have mainy stained-glass windows. Attractively carved pews, beautiful organ. The lectern and other pieces of furniture on the dais are contemporary in style and do not really fit with the rest of the church.
