Ajoie as seen by painters

The gentle land of Ajoie has been a great inspiration to artists. The Allaine basin, with its romantic meanders and bucolic course, lends itself to both daydreaming and easel painting. Most of the villages in the Porrentruy and Clos-du-Doubs districts have retained their rural character and well-preserved old town centers, making them attractive subjects for picturesque and original compositions. Among others, painters Maurice Lapaire, Léon Prêtre, Willy Nicolet, Louis Poupon, Fernand Caille and Achille Schirmer have immortalized this warm, rural region with panache.
