Vuillafans

Highlight • Settlement

Vuillafans is really a very beautiful town located on the banks of the Loue. It keeps a small wild side and already with its vines a civilized air.

The houses are in places balanced at the edge of the water and give the village a special charm that we find later in Ornans, built somewhat on the same principle.

In 1120, the priory was attached to the Abbey of Cluny.

Gorges de Nouailles

Highlight • Other

This section of road which ventures into the Nouailles gorges, transforms as the descent progresses into a gigantic canyon overlooking the Loue valley.

The cliffs are impressive in places.

It's a marvel to explore that gives a little air of adventure and a lot of fun.
