The municipality of Lamoura, Jura, has submitted a bid of 110,000 euros to acquire a 26-hectare abandoned holiday village.
This offer represents a sharp discount compared to the 2 million euros sought by the judicial liquidator, following the 2020 bankruptcy of the previous owner, as reported by Midi Libre.
- The bid equates to approximately 2.11 euros per square meter for the 26-hectare site.
- The property includes 12 buildings and 900 beds, though 80% of the infrastructure is slated for demolition.
The site, originally inaugurated in 1967, has faced a turbulent ownership history. According to 20minutes.fr, the property was purchased in 2015 for 2.5 million euros by the Paris-based professional real estate firm Ereig. Following the failure of subsequent operators, including Geco and the final owner, Real Hope—a subsidiary of Ereig—the site entered liquidation in 2020.
The judicial liquidator had initially targeted a 2 million euro sale price to settle outstanding debts, a figure now rendered obsolete by the lack of private market interest over the last six years. The municipal government is currently the sole entity to have submitted a formal bid.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Site Area | 26 Hectares |
| 2015 Acquisition Price | 2.5 Million Euros |
| Liquidation Target | 2 Million Euros |
| Municipal Bid | 110,000 Euros |
The municipal council, representing a population of roughly 800 residents, is moving to secure the site to prevent further deterioration. “Ce qu’on voudrait, c’est donner une suite au site en démolissant ce qui ne peut pas être valorisé, et en valorisant ce qui peut l’être,” Antoine Delacroix, the mayor of Lamoura, told Midi Libre.
The plan involves a large capital expenditure, with 20minutes.fr reporting that 80% of current equipment will be removed.
The price gap between the liquidation target and the municipal offer highlights the difficulty of disposing of large-scale, specialized hospitality assets in remote regions. With no other private bidders emerging since the 2020 liquidation, the market value of the 12-building complex has effectively collapsed.
The judicial liquidator currently holds the municipal offer, and no final decision has been announced. As of mid-November 2026, the proposal remains the only option on the table for the redevelopment of the 26-hectare site.
