The waterfall is impressive even when it's carrying little water. Unfortunately, it can only be seen from the small path leading down from the road. The area at the base of the waterfall is private and extensively fenced. I found that a shame.

The Chapelle Notre-Dame des Buis, also known as the chapelle des Buis, is a Christian building dating back to at least the 17th century. It is located in Besançon, in the La Boucle district, and is considered one of the most remarkable chapels in the city. History: Although no official documentation is available, it is believed that the site may have housed a small temple to Mercury in Roman times, or perhaps even a cave where a hermit named Saint Leonard resided. A 13th-century hermitage stood on this site before the current chapel was built, sometime between the 17th and 19th centuries. After being damaged in 1815, the chapel was restored and expanded in 1865. Architecture: The chapel consists of three stacked plinths with stairs on all four sides. On top is a cube-shaped block with a statue of a woman raising her arms to the sky, symbolizing resurrected freedom. The Chapelle Notre-Dame des Buis is a place of historical significance and a tribute to those who have prayed and reflected here over the centuries. 🙏🕊️

The area around the waterfall is cordoned off, so that it is actually inaccessible and can only be seen from afar. The "standing seats" that have been set up are friendly, but do not really add value to the barbed wire. You can get closer to the waterfall from above, but you should do this with caution!!

The Notre-Dame des Buis chapel, commonly known as the Buis chapel, is a Christian building dating from at least the 17th century. The site in which it is placed as well as its architecture make it one of the most remarkable chapels in the city. Established on a ridge above the Saint-Étienne hill, the sector was a busy route of passage, a strategic military site. It has become a spiritual center and an exceptional environmental space. La Chapelle des Buis, despite its isolation and small demographics, enjoys a rich environmental and architectural heritage, with its thick forest, its places of worship and its countless statues. The chapel is located in the hamlet of Chapelle des Buis, on the edge of a small cliff more than 470 m high. In front of it stands one of the most beautiful panoramas of Besançon and the citadel of Besançon. About 400 m away is Notre-Dame de la Libération. Wikipedia

This belvedere is one of the most spectacular in the heights of Besançon. It opens a wide window onto the Doubs valley, the Citadel of Besançon and the Jura mountains. As a bonus, when the horizon clears, you can also enjoy a superb view of the Mont-Blanc range. This belvedere is also an opportunity to learn a little history since you are on the site of Fort Woirol with several observation posts and the Montfaucon redoubt.

From the top, easily accessible, you can see the small stream disappearing into the void. Unfortunately, the fall point of the waterfall is on a private domain so not accessible, but you can see it from the place called "Bout du monde".

The Bout du Monde waterfall reaches an impressive height of 50 meters. A little planning is required, because in periods of low rainfall, the waterfall may not be visible.
