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.

The Port-Lesney bridge crosses the Loue, a river in the Val d'Amour. It is a perfect place for swimming and walking. This bridge replaces the stone bridge which dates from the 15th century, the remains of which can be appreciated.
