Local Directions

From Lons-le-Saunier: Leave Lons-le-Saunier on the D471 in the direction of Pontarlier and Lac de Chalain. Do not deviate from the D471 between Lonsle-Saunier and Pont de Navoy. You will pass a right-hand turn signposted for 'Lac de Chalain' approximately 15 minutes after leaving Lons-le-Saunier – ignore this sign as it takes you along a shorter but windy and very slow route with only limited scenic interest. Follow the D471 through Pannessières, Crançot, Mirebel and downhill to Pont de Navoy. At Pont de Navoy pass over the bridge and immediately take the first turning on the right, signposted 'Lac'de Chalain' (D27). Camping La Pergola is situated on your lefthand side after about three miles. The distance between Lons-le-Saunier and Camping La Pergola is approximately 18 miles. From Lyon Airport: take the A39 north and get off at Lons le Saunier. From here follow local directions as above.
