The Baume-les-Messieurs cave was first explored by Paul Vernier in 1610, but he only explored the first quarter of the cave. It wasn't until more than two centuries later, in 1893, that exploration resumed, thanks in part to the French speleologist Alfred Martel (who discovered the Gouffre de Padirac). The first guided tours took place at the beginning of the 20th century, around 1903.

Wonderful hiking trail along the edge of the cliff with beautiful viewpoints.

Beautiful viewpoint "Roches de Baume" with views from the plateau into the valley and as far as Baume-les-Messieurs.

A beautifully situated small waterfall with a small pool. From the rocks in front of the waterfall, you can enjoy beautiful views of the idyllic natural setting.

This viewpoint near the road offers a beautiful view of the valley and the steep rock faces, with a view extending as far as Arbois.

The Bief de la Ruine waterfall is located in the spectacular Malvaux Gorge. One of the most astonishing features of this waterfall is the fact that it only comes alive after heavy rainfall or during snowmelt. When it dries, it gives way to the spectacle of the carved stone, revealing the "Creux des Joyaux," a natural cave where the water swirls with varying degrees of vigor, polishing a multitude of limestone pebbles thanks to the force of its current.

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.
