Source of the Loue

Highlight • River

The Loue is largely a vast underground river and its source a resurgence that emerges from the immense underground network of the Jura limestone plateau.

The place, located in a canyon is spectacular and deserves a stop. If you want to escape the summer heat, this is the place.

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.
