Ο Saut de la Saisse είναι ένας καταρράκτης στη Γαλλία, που βρίσκεται στη οροσειρά του Ιούρα, στο σημείο όπου ο ποταμός Ain εκβάλλει στη λίμνη ταμιευτήρα Vouglans στο Pont-de-Poitte και Patornay, μεταξύ Lons-le-Saunier και Clairvaux-les-Lacs. Μια «marmite du diable», «marmite de géant» ή «marmite glaciaire» στην Ελβετία (ή απλά «marmite» ή «chaudron») είναι μια φυσική κοιλότητα, περισσότερο ή λιγότερο κυλινδρική, που έχει διανοιχθεί στο βράχο από αρχαία, συνήθως ορμητικά, ρεύματα νερού, τα οποία μεταφέρουν χαλίκια ή ψιλή άμμο, ευνοώντας τη διάβρωση με δίνες (φαινόμενο που ονομάζεται «marmitage»).

Beautiful viewpoint "Roches de Baume" with views from the plateau into the valley and as far as Baume-les-Messieurs.

Magnificent view of Baume-Les-Messieurs and the surrounding rocky landscape.

In Baume-Les-Messieurs, time seems to stand still, as this village has managed to preserve its charm so well. It's no coincidence that it has been awarded two labels, "Plus Beaux Villages de France" (Most Beautiful Villages in France) and "Cités de Caractère de Bourgogne-Franche-Comté" (Towns of Character in Burgundy-Franche-Comté).

Founded in the 6th century and expanded by Bernon at the end of the 9th century, the building became a famous abbey, from which the monks who founded Cluny originated. The Abbey of Baume les Messieurs' prosperity began in the 11th century. In the 12th century, it assumed the title of "Imperial Abbey." In 1147, Baume was placed under the authority of Cluny. From this point on, its decline began. At the end of the 18th century, the last monks were converted into secular canons. During the French Revolution, the monks left the abbey, and part of the abbey was privatized. This Benedictine abbey today boasts an impressive architectural ensemble, some of which are typical of early Romanesque architecture in the Jura. The abbey church of Saint-Pierre dates back to the 11th century and has been a listed historic monument since 1849.

Climbed it today (17-8-25); it's open, and there are signs along the road showing your progress. Traffic is quiet, and a beautiful green climb, especially further on.

Beautiful view over the lake.
