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.

Riverside Rest Area on the Loue

Highlight • River

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.

Ornans – Venice of the Franche-Comté

Highlight • Settlement

Ornans is very attractive with its houses reflected in the Loue, its elegant limestone cliffs surrounding it, its magnificent church with its imposing Comtois bell tower, the squares and shops of its main avenue, as well as its beautiful forests.

Ornans is also the city of Gustave Courbet. The famous painter who became politically involved in the government of the commune and then had to go into exile in Switzerland because he was accused of having been the instigator of the fall of the column in Place Vendôme in Paris.

You will learn all about this native of Ornans by going to visit the museum which is entirely dedicated to him in the city center.

Town Hall, Ornans

Highlight • Other

The Hôtel de Ville d’Ornans has been located since 1825 in part of a large building that was once the old courthouse of the bailiwick of Ornans in 1422. The former bailiwick was rebuilt in 1740. This imposing building spans the sidewalk with double arches overlooking the Rue Pierre Vernier. If you visit Ornans, this historic building is definitely worth a look! 🏛️🇫🇷
