Jura

Relief of central Europe, between France and Switzerland, whose chains begin south of the Rhone, near Chambéry, stretching north of the river in a slightly arched series, until the confluence of the river Aare in the Rhine. It gave its name to a geological period that is well represented in the rock formations that make up this mountain range.
