Part of the cycle route between Ornans and Montgesoye through the Loue valley.

The Loue is a picturesque river in eastern France, flowing through the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region. Originating in the Jura, the Loue meanders westwards and passes the historic town of Ornans. The river is known for its clear water and crosses limestone formations, contributing to an impressive landscape with gorges and caves. Located on the banks of the Loue, Ornans is a charming town that benefits from the natural beauty of the river.

It's the perfect place for a break along the Loue. The watercourse offers an ideal setting for a picnic or a short stop.

To get to Ornans from Mouthier-Haute-Pierre and Lods, it is best to take this section of very gentle gravel road which traces a straight line between meadows and woods before arriving at the city of Courbet. It's very nice because it allows you to avoid the main road.
