How it's used
This term is a direct transliteration used primarily in geographical or travel contexts. It is not a native Cantonese concept, so it is almost exclusively used when discussing European geography or specific watchmaking regions associated with the area. When referring to the mountain range, it is standard to add 山脈 after the name for clarity.
Examples
They are planning to travel to the Jura region.
