Note: To find only Franche-Comté gites with swimming pools select 'holiday theme' then 'with swimming pools' (last option).

Franche-Comte is found to the east of France - the region borders onto Switzerland. so as you head towards the east of the region you start to leave the rolling countryside and smaller peaks of the Jura mountains, cross the high plateaux, and enter the Alps 'proper'  Much of the countryside is an unspoiled mix of forests and open country, interspersed with lakes and rivers...
