On the road in a horse-drawn wagon in the Ajoie, Jura

No longer really Switzerland and yet not quite France - the Ajoie is the ideal area in which to experience a nomad's life in a horse-drawn wagon.

Dealing with horses is easier than you would think. All it takes is a short lesson on the farm and a quick test ride, and off you go - life on the road at a horse's pace. Spend three days with the family alone with a horse-drawn wagon on the peaceful roads under the wide sky of the Ajoie - an area which almost feels French.
Cook over a campfire by the wayside - but don't forget to unharness and feed the horse first. Overnight on a typical Jura farms, and call in at Réclère, with its famous grottos and magical underworld - and don't forget to look for the life-size dinosaurs in the forest.
