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.

FOREST ROAD IN POOR CONDITION TRAFFIC NOT SUITABLE FOR ROAD BICYCLES

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.

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.

The belvedere of the black gouille overlooks the Canyon of Amondans whose top of the cliffs can be seen. It takes its name from the very deep hole (with black water) dug by the great waterfall of the Canyon d'Amondans where the Malans stream flows, which I throw into the Loue that you can see on the left.

it seems to be widespread in the Jura to shut off the water flow through a faucet. If necessary, you can press and then the water runs for a while.

Overlooking the source of the Lison, the Cave offers both easy caving exploration and very difficult free or artificial climbing. Its North-East orientation guarantees a pronounced freshness in all seasons.
