In this video, I take you on adventure through the mountains of French Jura. We visit many small villages that were once gemcutting hubs for France and the world.

Thank you to Victoria Raynaud, Emmanuel and Daniel Piat, Xavier Grospiron and Robert Courbe-Michollet from allowing me to interview them.
