Saint-Ursanne

Saint-Ursanne is an old town and a former municipality of the district of Porrentruy in the canton of Jura, Switzerland which has preserved much of its medieval character. The town contains many historical buildings, including a Romanesque abbey church, a collegiate church, a cloister, many medieval houses, a hermitage and an 18th-century bridge. The river Doubs makes a loop near Saint-Ursanne before flowing into France. Since 2009 Saint-Ursanne has been a part of the new municipality Clos du Doubs. An active railway station is located above the town, to the east. The town is famous for the medieval festival which it organizes each summer, and for the annual St-Ursanne–Les Rangiers International Hill Climb in August. Its name refers to Saint Ursicinus, a seventh-century monk who built a monastery here. This town received an award as being one of the "best tourism villages" worldwide by UNWTO.

A16 motorway

The A16, a motorway in north-central Switzerland, is a divided freeway connecting the border to France to the A5 motorway, 84 kilometres to the south on the Swiss plateau. The A16 motorway is a long, winding corridor that crosses the Jura Mountains from the Canton of Jura through part of the Bernese Jura area, to the flat part of the canton of Bern on the Swiss plateau. Therefore, it is called Transjurane. It is congruent with the National Highway N16 and following its anticipated completion around 2020–2030, it will connect the French motorway network with the rest of the Swiss national road network. The extension provides for both four-lane standard and two-lane sections of "express roads". In 2014, there were approximately 71 km of roadway in operation, other sections were under construction or in planning.
