Tips from the Community
19th-century bridge that crosses a gorge at the bottom of which flows the Château-Renaud, a stream that feeds the Lison resurgence. Its construction is surrounded by a legend of a pact with the Devil. The keystone of the main arch is carved, on the upstream side, with a grimacing devil's head, in reference to the legend surrounding this bridge

The village of Nans-sous-Sainte-Anne is remarkable for the scale of its landscapes, the rhythm of the mountains and depressions. It knows how to combine in a restricted space the charm of the foliage and the fir trees with the austerity of the rock walls, the impetuosity of the waterfalls with the intimacy of the undergrowth, the mystery of the caves with the picturesqueness of the belvederes.

The valley is beautiful, the rock walls down to the road and... the Lison flows very quietly, without any fuss like the last few kilometers.

If you are in the area, you should visit the bridge. To do so, you should go down the stairs next to the bridge.

Beautiful path to the waterfall. Suitable footwear is recommended when it is wet.

Finally there is an alternative in an otherwise almost gastronomic landscape. There is now a gastronomic commitment again here: https://aubergedupontdudiable.com

Crossed by the Lison and its tributaries Nans-sous-Sainte-Anne is a pleasant village in which to take a break. From the 13th century, it was one of the first stops on the 'salt route' for convoys transporting salt from Salins Les Salines to Switzerland via the Jura passes. The bridge over the Lison was also the perfect place to collect the gabelle, the famous tax on salt in the Middle Ages.
