We had a fantastic two weeks in Poligny this year, based on a recommendation from my sister who visited the previous summer. Jennifer is a wonderful host, on hand to answer any questions and to make recommendations, and also to help you get a taste of living in a French market town. The house really is beautifully decorated - each bedroom has its own character, and both the living room and kitchen are spacious and well-equipped. I would say that it surpassed our expectations. We loved spending time in the sunny garden, which is enclosed by a high convent wall and feels very secluded. Poligny is a good base for exploring Jura - we swam every day in the municipal outdoor pool or in the Lac de Chalain which is half an hour's drive away, and my husband went cycling every morning in the surrounding hills. All shops (bakeries, butchers, deli and cheese shops) and facilities in the town can be reached on foot within 10 minutes. Highly recommended, and I hope that we will be back in Poligny again before too long.
