Le Mont-calvaire

Highlight • Religious Site

The Mont-Calvaire is a hill of Sombacour which entered the historical heritage thanks to its way of the cross punctuated by 14 stations. These stations are small buildings topped with a cross and commemorating the passion of Christ.

In addition to the religious aspect of the place, the hill is also conducive to good vertical kilometer training for trail enthusiasts.

Also, the view from the top is superb.

Old bridge over the Loue

Highlight • Bridge

The Loue draws charming landscapes known through the paintings of Gustave Courbet. In addition to Ornans, the most beautiful village in the valley, other places are worth exploring on the surrounding paths, such as this bridge located a little further upstream.

Village of Lods

Highlight • Other

Ranked among the most beautiful villages in France, Lods is worth the detour with its pretty old houses and the Loue which crosses it, punctuated by dams.
The village has a little more than 200 inhabitants today but the 1850 census counted 1,430, due to two important activities at the time: the forge and the vineyard. Both have left their mark: you can see the ironmasters' house near La Loue and visit the vine museum.

Pontarlier

Highlight • Settlement

Pontarlier is the capital of the "green fairy". It is here that the absinthe liqueur so popular in the nineteenth century and originating in the Val de Travers in the Swiss jura was produced industrially. The drink was nicknamed so because of its beautiful green color. She probably made you see fairies because wormwood has a hallucinogenic substance. It was forbidden to consume. Pontarlier is the second highest town in France after Briançon. Its city center is very pleasant.
