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.

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.

Old Bridge of Vuillafans

Highlight • Bridge

This arched limestone bridge was built in the early 16th century.
Its three basket-handle arches span the Loue in the town of Vuillafans.
Take the time to cross it to enjoy a superb view of the river, its valley and the buildings that border it.
