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.

Renédale Viewpoint

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Renédale belvedere offers you the opposite viewpoint to that of La Roche (if you come from Mouthier-Haute-Pierre). Still spectacular.
And as a bonus, from this side you have a magical view of the Cirque de la Source de la Loue. It's dizzying.

Monk's Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

It's an understatement to say that we never tire of the viewpoints in the area. This gives a particularly clear view of the valley.
If you missed the previous one, here's a great catch-up session to enjoy the view from the cliffs.

Belvédère du Moine – View over the Vallée de la Loue

Highlight • Viewpoint

Belvedere at the end of the cliff, accessible by road bike. With its 300 meters of void, you can admire a superb panorama over the entire Loue valley and its villages.
A round trip that is worth a look.

Source de la Loue

Highlight • Cave

At the source of the Loue, you are faced with a steep rock wall 150 meters high, which forms a spectacular cirque. It is from this monument that the Loue springs.
The site is easily accessible and is via marked GR trails.

In the gorges of Noailles, you will follow the Loue to its source. Loud waterfalls punctuate the peaceful forest that borders the path.
