The village of Nans-sous-Sainte-Anne is remarkable for the scale of its landscapes, the rhythm of the mountains and depressions. It knows how to combine in a restricted space the charm of the foliage and the fir trees with the austerity of the rock walls, the impetuosity of the waterfalls with the intimacy of the undergrowth, the mystery of the caves with the picturesqueness of the belvederes.

Crossed by the Lison and its tributaries Nans-sous-Sainte-Anne is a pleasant village in which to take a break. From the 13th century, it was one of the first stops on the 'salt route' for convoys transporting salt from Salins Les Salines to Switzerland via the Jura passes. The bridge over the Lison was also the perfect place to collect the gabelle, the famous tax on salt in the Middle Ages.
