sanctuary located on the ridge, overlooking the meanders of the Loue. Camped at the very edge of the sheer rock, no habitation surrounds it. Built in the 17th century, the chapel is dedicated to Notre-Dame de Lorette. The buildings include three parts: the chapel, in the center, with its beautiful carved wooden door and its roof covered with slate, topped by a pinnacle with its bell.

In this part of the Doubs department, the Loue river makes many meanders and is very calm. It evolves between forests and meadows and in fact, helps to make this part of the department even more bucolic.
