A short walk through the footbridges and belvederes that line the Ain after its departure, magnificent scenery

Several million years ago, the Ain was lost underground, in a labyrinth of cavities, an underground gallery called "losses". Over time, the work of water erosion has done its work, and has nibbled the limestone and destroyed the vault of the underground gallery. It remains today a unique natural site where water makes its way between rocky piles and stone remains.

The ruins of the castle of Château-Vilain occupy a remarkable position, they are in the Jura mountains, on the second plateau at an altitude of 720m, and dominate the valley of the Ain and the losses of the river

This beautiful single track meanders through the undergrowth and opens up at times to offer beautiful views of the surrounding panorama.

The Serpentine, (first tributary of the Ain river whose source is located a little higher) forms a small lake near the ruins of a mill. It is from a cornice that this beautiful natural waterfall 15 meters high comes to life when the water level is sufficient.

This city in the Middle Ages was a highly strategic place. For more than 300 years, from the 13th to the 16th century, its inhabitants controlled the commercial exploitation of salt by establishing rights of passage for merchants who went to Switzerland. So you will find in its center many beautiful period houses, irrefutable testimonies of this ancient wealth. The castle of the princes of Oranges was destroyed, and did not stand the test of time.
