Lons is pronounced 'Lonce' locally. François-Zavier Guillermet wrote many local history publications, edited Le Patriote jurassien, and also wrote regional novels. His 346-page book Lons-le-Saunier : souvenirs et croquis [lit. 'Memories and Sketches'] was first published in 1875 and was re-printed as a facsimile edition as recently as 2011.
