Casino Jeux de Lons le Saunier

Lons-le-Saunier (‘salt city’ in the Latin ‘ledo salinarius’) is a French commune and capital of the department of Jura. The population sits somewhere half-way between 15 and 20,000 people. Jura vineyards produce a popular Lons-le-Saunier wine, so you might want to consider bringing a bottle or 2 home as souvenirs. If you’re looking for interesting things to see, try some of the fountains and statues scattered about. View the Fountain Salines, Swan Fountain, Lion Fountain, the Commerce Street Fountain, the Bichat Square Fountain, the Perrin Street Dolphins Fountain, and the Lecourbe Street Fountain. Statues include the General Lecourbe statue and the Rouget de Lisle statue.
