Le Reculet is the second-highest summit in the Jura Mountains, with a summit elevation of 1718 metres; it is located in the Ain department of France. It is situated a few kilometres south of the Crêt de la Neige on the territory of the town of Thoiry.
A cross was erected on the summit by the inhabitants of Thoiry. The summit has views of the Pays de Gex, Geneva, Lake Geneva, the Alps, Mont Blanc, the Matterhorn, and on clear days the Chaîne des Puys.
Le Reculet was sometimes designated as the highest point of the Jura, until the elevation of the Crêt de la Neige was revised upwards to 1720 m instead of 1717.6 m.
