The columns look very dramatic - it seems like a staged event

The valley is beautiful, the rock walls down to the road and... the Lison flows very quietly, without any fuss like the last few kilometers.

Although it is located right on the street, there is good coffee, beer, etc. but also food. There are almost only locals here and rarely tourists.

Nans-sous-Sainte-Anne is unique. Beautifully secluded. Lots of opportunities, from climbing, cycling and hiking. And there's even a former Michelin-starred chef in the Chateâu. The cheese dairy is great and also has bread and wine. It's a picture-perfect village.

The Loue Valley - indescribable! Unfortunately, we were not able to follow the river everywhere. This makes such atmospheres all the more beautiful.

We were completely alone, with two exceptions. This old bridge just before Nans-sous-Sainte-Anne over the Lizon - the atmosphere is like in a fairytale forest.
