If you are looking for a superb waterfall in the Doubs, you absolutely must go to the Chute du Bief de Vautenaivre. This is a majestic natural site where a small stream plunges from a rocky overhang that was once a seabed. You can see ancient fossils embedded in the ceiling of the cave-like shelter. You will be rewarded with breathtaking views of the waterfall and surrounding forest.
