シャッフォワの天然記念物・トップ3

You can still see some old and newer buildings at the source of the Loue, as well as bridges and walls that probably belonged to the former mills here.

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.

This lake, known for its brilliant blue water, crosses the Doubs River in a valley. It once formed a single, large body of water along with Lake Remoray. The lake is 6.3 km long and 800 m wide, making it the fourth-largest natural lake in France. It freezes over in winter. Thanks to the construction of a dam on its north side, it helps regulate the flow of the Doubs.

The Loue is largely a vast underground river and its source a resurgence which emerges from the immense underground network of the Jura limestone plateau. The place, located in a canyon, is spectacular and worth a stop. If you want to escape the summer heat, this is the perfect place.

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.

The bridge provides a great view over the spring and falls. But it is also photogenic itself.

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.
