Tips from the Community
19th-century bridge that crosses a gorge at the bottom of which flows the Château-Renaud, a stream that feeds the Lison resurgence. Its construction is surrounded by a legend of a pact with the Devil. The keystone of the main arch is carved, on the upstream side, with a grimacing devil's head, in reference to the legend surrounding this bridge

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.

The spring is simply gigantic and there aren't too many tourists - at least when we were there.

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/

Very beautifully laid out and developed. There are also interesting information boards, e.g. about the underground connection of the local springs. At the end of the 19th century, a mill owner wanted to divert the water from the spring, which, after intervention by the population and a member of parliament, led to the first French environmental protection law. https://www.montagnes-du-jura.fr/

Very beautiful waterfall, easily accessible from the car park and then offering several hiking possibilities from its basin. The site is geologically interesting.
