A tiny Swiss town with a notably lively café and restaurant scene, Delémont sits on the water with vineyards in the surrounding countryside and scenic viewpoints close by. It serves as the capital of the canton of Jura and occupies an unusual linguistic position — a French-speaking town between Swiss German-speaking Berne and Alsatian-speaking Alsace and Basel. The wider region is ringed by UNESCO World Heritage sites.
