Circuit Secret Porrentruy
Since 2014, Porrentruy has been the home of the Circuit Secret® and its unusual places to explore.
Badge rental and advice from the Jura Tourisme reception office in Porrentruy (Rue du 23-Juin 20), during opening hours, or at the Hôtel-Dieu Museum (Grand-Rue 5).
The Circuit Secret enables you to enjoy a unique experience in an exclusive way.
As holder of the keys, you can push open the doors of secret places in Porrentruy, where you will enjoy superb animations. Do you know of Pierre Péquignat, the rebel clerk who defied the prince-bishop, and the tragic ending to his battle? Have you seen the Wyvern brought to life, a mythical and fantastic creature which is nourished by the energy of water? Do you believe dinosaurs still haunt the town of Porrentruy?
The key enables you to set off and discover the stories hidden in these places and to learn more about the legends and peculiarities of the region. For example, at the castle, you will be immersed in the splendour of the prince-bishops of Basel, who lived there for more than 2 centuries (1528-1792). You will appreciate the way of life of the inhabitants of the town in this period.
All the animations were created by the artist Camille Scherrer. They will move you for sure, as well as offering you an enriching experience in unusual places.
