Saint-Lupicin

This delegated commune of Coteaux du Lizon covers 19.54 square kilometers at 706 meters elevation, nestled within the Haut-Jura Regional Natural Park among wooded valleys and hills typical of the Jura mountain landscape.

The 11th-century Romanesque church, classified as a historical monument since 1906, stands on a site inhabited since the 5th century, representing one of the region's most significant examples of ancient religious architecture.

The community regularly hosts cultural events, artisan markets, and local festivals that celebrate traditional regional craftsmanship, particularly the production of AOC cheeses like Comté and Morbier that define Jura's culinary heritage.

Accessible via departmental roads D31 and highway A404, the commune maintains a town hall at Place de l'Hôtel-de-Ville that provides official documents and manages urban planning procedures for its 1,845 registered residents.

Since 2017, Saint-Lupicin became part of the new commune Coteaux du Lizon following its administrative merger with Cuttura, while maintaining its distinct historical identity and specific local traditions.
