Tips from the Community

Luc Gesell
January 6, 2022, Traversée du bois de Champois avec vue

Crossing the Bois de Champois guides you to Saint-Romain-de-Roche. This descent in woods and glades offers you a clear view, sublime in all seasons. The highlight of this segment is the arrival at the Roche de Vaux. At this level, the path marries a very clear balcony on the valley of the Bienne and the small town of Vaux-lès-Saint-Claude.

The Scia belvedere is in the heart of a natural site classified as Natura 2000 and offers a superb viewpoint over the Haute Chaîne du Jura. You will find an orientation table on site as well as facilities for a certainly well-deserved picnic break (or snack).

Passing through this small lake you give yourself a great chance to observe plants and water birds. This artificial lake is indeed a privileged space for flora and fauna. The old dam has been renovated, as has the mill which now houses a small restaurant. If you've ever done your picnic on the road, you won't be left with nothing.

The lake is famous for its fish. The dam and the mills are renovated and enhanced by an association.
