ビラファンの天然記念物・トップ8

The source of the Loue River is announced by the rushing water even before you see it. It's impressive and magical to stand beneath the 150-meter-high cliffs and watch the river rush out of its cave.

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

This cavern is impressive, the immense cliff seems to crush this “small” opening in the wall, from which clear waters gush. The lights and the tranquility of the place are remarkable. Consider bringing a headlamp to explore the caves a little more. Climbing enthusiasts will notice some equipped routes with quite an overhang.

One of the largest springs in the entire Jura region. Very impressive after long periods of rain.

This is truly a magical place! A whole river that comes straight out of the rock. There is a huge parking lot just a few hundred meters away, which takes some of the magic out of the place. So I would recommend visiting this place out of season. And instead of starting from the parking lot, take a long walk along the surrounding hiking trails, which are definitely worth it.

From the top of this belvedere, you will have a breathtaking view of the Cirque de la Source de la Loue.

When you finally reach the source, you are greeted by a 150 meter high rock face - a magnificent cirque. Below, you will see the source of the Loue.
