Is there a history behind this part of Bern extruding toward the French border but not reaching it, apart from the separation of Jura? What is life like there?

  1. As a broader note, was it an important matter for discussion/dispute at the time of Jura independence that the Canton of Bern was losing its International border?

  2. what is life like there? well for a start nobody lives there. theres just a nice pond

  3. I don’t think you will get any answers considering there are only two houses in the Bern part, only one of which is occupied 

  4. France we like you but Not really that much. Maybe we should just be Friends.

  5. La Ferrière municipal territory already extended to the Doubs. Since that commune stayed in Bern, they kept the same borders.

    (That’s my likely explanation)

  6. Google map especially the car navigation map is not the one you want to look at to try to determine “how’s the life over there”. Try to look at a physical map or at least at the pictures rather than the generic “green zone”.

    All of these most likely will go down to towns territories. This is the land of [La Ferrière](https://s.geo.admin.ch/3zj7153tn9s9) and it looks like the they had a right to the Combe du Valanchon/Biaudond.

    And when Jura took independance, La Ferrière (or the district of it) did not agree to join the Jura.

  7. you’ll be surprised when you see the Fribourg, Lac Neuchatel Thing
