Topoguide from the "Grande Randonnée" Collection, which presents 15 day hikes, including 6 suitable for Nordic walking, to explore the Loue and Lison valleys in the Doubs region.
The route crosses the Pays de Courbet, revealing landscapes painted by the 19th-century artist, Gustave Courbet, a native of the region.
The landscapes have been shaped by the Loue and Lison rivers: caves, plateaus, valleys, waterfalls.
Following the Nouailles Gorges, hikers will pass through picturesque villages such as Lods, one of the most beautiful villages in France, and Ornans with its houses on the Loue.
By heading up to the higher ground, hikers can admire the panorama from the belvederes overlooking the valleys.
