ヴァル＝ド＝リュズ周辺のおすすめ滝ハイキング＆ウォーキング

とても素敵な小さな村。

We cross the industrial zone via Rue des Tunnels, then we gain altitude by returning to Rue de Saint-Nicolas. We continue along Chemin du Petit-Pontarlier, which overlooks the Vauseyon basin.

We then take a metal staircase to descend into the Gor du Vauseyon valley. This immersion in this unique site, where the river has sculpted the stone, is a true time machine: from the 16th century onwards, the force of the water powered mills and sawmills here. The Maison du Prussien, now a hotel-restaurant, and the remains of the Moulin Chambrier bear witness to this pre-industrial era.

Here, the river, still rushing and noisy, gives the atmosphere a particularly pleasant freshness during hot summer days.

Visit to the castle and little train for children

technically great course

Follow the path of the Gorges de l'Areuse to discover this magnificent landscape carved by the waters that descend from the Jura. This part of the gorge is very narrow, animated by the narrow cliffs and numerous waterfalls.

Anyone who passes this point cannot help but wonder who or when this impressive stretch of road was built. It somehow transports us back to the time of the Romans and Helvetians. Who knows? Perhaps it was just a simple construction worker named Gustave Dubois (name fictitious) who built it in 1963 on behalf of the city of Neuenburg. Of course, it is all pure speculation. Perhaps one day, someone will explain it to us. We are excited. Until then, however... for us it remains a path from the time of the Romans and Helvetians. ;-)
