Tips from the Community
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.

Failing to visit, since it is private, the Château de Cléron can be admired from the heights of Cléron, but also from its gardens. This medieval castle has been restored and offers observers a keep, machicolations, loopholes and stunners in excellent condition.

This castle was built in 1320 by Humbert de Cléron, vassal of the Count of Burgundy, to protect the Loue ford on the great salt road of Franche-Comté. Modified and enlarged in the 15th and 18th centuries, the castle still retains its medieval defenses. Open Tuesday to Sunday from 2:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. (from 01/07 to 31/08, garden only, interior cannot be visited). Ticket price - 3 euros.

Crossed by the Lison and its tributaries Nans-sous-Sainte-Anne is a pleasant village in which to take a break. From the 13th century, it was one of the first stops on the 'salt route' for convoys transporting salt from Salins Les Salines to Switzerland via the Jura passes. The bridge over the Lison was also the perfect place to collect the gabelle, the famous tax on salt in the Middle Ages.

Bolandoz is a small, typical village in France-Comté. While passing there, remember to stop in front of the old wash house. Benches sheltered from the sun (or rain) are there, and can therefore represent a nice spot for a picnic. The small chapels at the entrance and exit of the village are also worth a look. At the exit (direction Montmahoux) don't miss the aptly named Notre-Dame des Aventures.
