Nantua

Sitting directly on the glacial Lac de Nantua in the southern foothills of the Jura Mountains, this small French town in the Ain département is known for its freshwater fish and crayfish. The lakeside setting gives it a strong visual character, with cafés and restaurants in the compact centre and scenic viewpoints in the surrounding hills.
