Tips from the Community
The village of Nans-sous-Sainte-Anne is remarkable for the scale of its landscapes, the rhythm of the mountains and depressions. It knows how to combine in a restricted space the charm of the foliage and the fir trees with the austerity of the rock walls, the impetuosity of the waterfalls with the intimacy of the undergrowth, the mystery of the caves with the picturesqueness of the belvederes.

Iconic 17th century chapel built following a vow made by the population to thank the Virgin Mary for protecting the inhabitants from epidemics and during the Thirty Years' War. It has an oval plan and is surmounted by a recently renovated dome with glazed roof tiles, a lantern tower and a bell tower. https://www.coeurdujura-tourisme.com/

If you are in the area, you should visit the bridge. To do so, you should go down the stairs next to the bridge.

Crossed by the Lison and its tributaries Nans-sous-Sainte-Anne is a pleasant village in which to take a break. From the 13th century, it was one of the first stops on the 'salt route' for convoys transporting salt from Salins Les Salines to Switzerland via the Jura passes. The bridge over the Lison was also the perfect place to collect the gabelle, the famous tax on salt in the Middle Ages.

Beautiful section of road resurfaced with good percentages. Don't forget to look around, the view is worth it.

Bolandoz is a small, typical village in France-Comté. While passing there, remember to stop in front of the old wash house. Benches sheltered from the sun (or rain) are there, and can therefore represent a nice spot for a picnic. The small chapels at the entrance and exit of the village are also worth a look. At the exit (direction Montmahoux) don't miss the aptly named Notre-Dame des Aventures.

It is very interesting to visit the saltworks. The underground part of the tour is only possible with a guide. It is best to be there early in the morning for the sightseeing, otherwise there will be too many people there. The saltworks is a world cultural heritage site.
