The Loue is a picturesque river in eastern France, flowing through the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region. Originating in the Jura, the Loue meanders westwards and passes the historic town of Ornans. The river is known for its clear water and crosses limestone formations, contributing to an impressive landscape with gorges and caves. Located on the banks of the Loue, Ornans is a charming town that benefits from the natural beauty of the river.
