The former 14th-century collegiate church became a grain exchange during the French Revolution and a power plant in the early 20th century. Today, it serves as a community center.

Arbois is a charming little town that strikes me as typically French. It is the center of the Jura wine-growing region.

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 spring is simply gigantic and there aren't too many tourists - at least when we were there.

If you would like to visit the saltworks and the exhibitions in addition to the walk, you should plan at least 90 minutes.
