NZZ Bellevue:

„Die «Auberge du Mouton» ist der Anlass, um einmal einen Abstecher in dieses kleine Städtchen im Jura zu machen, in dem Hektik ein Fremdwort ist und frühabendlicher Apéro und geselliges Beisammensein mehr als Stichwörter sind.“ mehr lesen

Monocle:

“Hidden charms: “The region is peppered with pretty towns, intimate hotels in period buildings and a culinary tradition that draws influences from neighbouring France as well as its own heritage, which dates back to the Holy Roman Empire.

This part of Jura has a terroir that is rich in limestone, giving its wines a characteristic minerality. Its wealth of land and unspoiled nature means that you can find great produce here, from the trout in the Doubs river to herbs such as elderflower and sweet woodruff. Small-scale agriculture is still very much in vogue in this part of Europe and visitors should try local specialities such as tête de moine cheese and saucisse d’Ajoie. Many head south to Neuchâtel but Jura’s rustic inns and smaller hotels offer a warmer and more intimate experience.” mehr lesen

The mint story:

I wake up in a bright room overlooking old brick roofs with stork nests, the main street, and a medieval castle in a quiet town in the Swiss Jura. “I could write a book here” is my first thought upon opening my eyes. “I would start by describing the room and then gradually include characters - the guests at the auberge, their stories and ties. A neat and stylish hotel, with a terrace and a hanging mutton sign in front, would be the perfect setting.”
