エペグニーの天然記念物・トップ9

The waterfall is impressive even when it's carrying little water. Unfortunately, it can only be seen from the small path leading down from the road. The area at the base of the waterfall is private and extensively fenced. I found that a shame.

A beautiful valley - very relaxing to drive. La Roche Bottine is the right-hand rock edge that you see above Ornans. It is on the right of Ornans towards Lahier, above the D492 The left-hand rock edge is the Belvédére de Notre-Dame du Mont. Curious rock... its special shape inspired its name: La Roche Bottine   

Here you have a view of three rock masses. The question is which one is the Roche Bottines

The area around the waterfall is cordoned off, so that it is actually inaccessible and can only be seen from afar. The "standing seats" that have been set up are friendly, but do not really add value to the barbed wire. You can get closer to the waterfall from above, but you should do this with caution!!

Decorative monument in Besançon

Corner fountain created in 1900 by the sculptor Pasche based on the drawings of the architect Saint-Ginest. This monumental fountain replaced a fountain created in 1740 that was destroyed during the Revolution. The inscription "UTINAM" engraved under the pediment is the motto of Besançon, which can also be found engraved on other monuments in the form "PLÛT A DIEU".

Notre-Dame de la Libération is a site of memory built on the Mont des Buis inside the ditches of an old fort which dominates the city of Besançon. After the Second World War, in 1949, a place of commemoration and memory was built on the site of Fort des Buis-est. A crypt is topped with a statue of the Virgin Mary. Inside the crypt, there are the names of the 5,500 Besançon people who died during the war.
