a big hole

Remember not to venture too far into the cave

The spring is simply gigantic and there aren't too many tourists - at least when we were there.

The ascent to the cross is car-friendly and has steps. The GR59 may have been rerouted in the meantime, but a detour here is definitely justified. The paths on Mt Poupet are well signposted and the summit cross is highly recommended.

This highlight is located on the plateau under which the cave opening is located. It can be found via a dead-end path, but the view is a bit sobering.

The Sarrasine Cave impresses with its 90 m high portal. A 40 m thick layer of limestone separates it from the upper part of the plateau. The cave system has been explored for about 4 km, and hikers equipped with a flashlight can access it up to a small lake inside. https://www.lieux-insolites.fr

Very beautifully laid out and developed. There are also interesting information boards, e.g. about the underground connection of the local springs. At the end of the 19th century, a mill owner wanted to divert the water from the spring, which, after intervention by the population and a member of parliament, led to the first French environmental protection law. https://www.montagnes-du-jura.fr/

Creux Billard is a mighty valley with a diameter of around 60m, with sides rising 90m high. There is not much of a spectacle here like at the Lison waterfall - the place impresses with its dimensions and (if there is any) with its silence (but the echo is also good)
