It is located in the Ain department in France. Its altitude is 1718 meters . It is situated a few kilometers south of the Crêt de la Neige on the territory of the town of Thoiry.
Une cross was erected on the summit by the inhabitants of Thoiry. The summit offers spectacular views of the Pays de Gex, Geneva, Geneva Lake, the Alps, the Mont Blanc, the Cervino, and on clear days the Chaîne des Puys.
Le Reculaet was sometimes designated as the highest point of the Jura, until the altitude of the Crêt de la Neige was revised upwards to 1720 m au instead of 1717,6 m.
