Vuillafans

Highlight • Settlement

Vuillafans is really a very beautiful town located on the banks of the Loue. It keeps a small wild side and already with its vines a civilized air.

The houses are in places balanced at the edge of the water and give the village a special charm that we find later in Ornans, built somewhat on the same principle.

Val d'Ornans cycle path

Highlight (Segment) • Other

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.

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.
