Departure from Ouhans (Doubs)
You will descend towards this regional tourist hotspot, one of the Doubs' major natural sites: the Source de la Loue. You will overlook the sumptuous and wild Gorges de Nouailles from the side of the cliff, then climb up a steep path to the Aiguillon de Brasse viewpoint. Finally, you will return to Ouhans through peaceful meadows and bright pine forests, stopping for a few moments at the Notre-Dame des Anges chapel to thank the heavens for being a resident of Franche-Comté

Departure from Aubonne (Doubs)
This walk offers a superb exploration of the Nouailles Gorges and the source of the Loue. The descent to the source is particularly spectacular: wild, steep and punctuated by magnificent views over the gorges, it is the highlight of the route. The path runs at the foot of the cliffs and beneath rocks sculpted by the river. This descent, which can be tricky at times, is therefore only suitable for hikers with sure-footedness and requires great caution. After the Notre-Dame des Anges chapel, the route continues through pastures and woodland before returning to the ledges overlooking the gorges.
