ブルゴーニュフランシュコンテの天然記念物・トップ20

The Saut du Doubs is a 27-meter-high waterfall located along the Doubs River, which forms the border between France and Switzerland here. The waterfall is the result of a paleohistoric landslide that filled the narrow, gorge-like Doubs Valley, which cuts deep into the limestone formations of the Folded Jura, about 14,000 years ago.

Located at the end of the Baume-les-Messieurs valley, one of the most famous in the Jura, the waterfall is remarkable for many reasons. Its water originates from the underground river, the Dard, which emerges from the earth after a turbulent journey through the caves. The water that gushes forth here is pure and crystal-clear, emerging from a bright, green setting, creating magnificent colors.

The natural waterfalls of the Tufs, formed on porous limestone rocks, offer an almost fairytale spectacle with their 15 m waterfall surrounded by lush vegetation.

The Gorges de la Langouette are impressive for their vastness and the uniqueness of their wild environment. With the many light effects illuminating the mosses and ferns growing beneath the wooded canopy, they exude a gentle and tranquil atmosphere, particularly conducive to relaxation. This unspoiled spot offers a privileged view of the water's work, carving the canyon with its capricious meanders. The Petit Saine River, roaring and unpredictable, overcomes all obstacles to continue its course before converging with the Ain a few kilometers further on.

Lacs de Maclu are two adjacent lakes in the western part of the French Jura, in the Jura department of Franche-Comté. They are located at an elevation of 779 m in a depression in the High Jura, in the region of the Five Lakes near Le Frasnois, about 12 km south of Champagnole. The Petit Maclu, located to the northeast, has an area of 5 hectares, a length of about 500 m, and a maximum width of about 120 m. Its greatest depth is 11 m. It lies entirely within the municipal territory of Le Frasnois.
