Le Frasnois, commune in Jura, France
Le Frasnois is a rural commune in the Jura region, characterized by several lakes including Lac de Narlay situated in a forested mountain landscape. The village spreads across a large, hilly area with forests, meadows, and water bodies that shape its appearance.
The commune developed over centuries through forestry and agricultural traditions typical of the Jura region. Through the 20th century, the area evolved while maintaining its rural character and connection to land and water.
