Clairvaux-les-Lacs, Administrative commune in Jura, France
The municipal territory of Clairvaux-les-Lacs encompasses 112 square kilometers of land with elevations ranging from 450 to 826 meters above sea level.
Archaeological discoveries from 6000 years ago revealed Neolithic settlements near the lakes, leading to recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage prehistoric pile-dwelling site.
The local culture centers around two interconnected lakes, where residents maintain traditions through seasonal markets, regional food establishments, and water-based recreational activities.
The commune provides essential services for its 1,428 residents, including medical facilities, educational institutions, and public administration offices managed by the local government.
The Grand Lake spans 64 hectares for swimming and water sports, while the smaller 21-hectare Private Lake maintains its natural state without human interference.
