From the Sainte-Gertrude Chapel and its viewpoint over the Loue Valley, let yourself be guided by the beautiful path along the steep cliffs of the Tangelet and its numerous viewpoints overlooking Vuillafans, Montgesoye, Ornans and the valley. The path through the old vineyards, lined with dry-stone walls – a remnant of the terraced farming of days gone by – offers a superb, unobstructed view of both the upper and lower reaches of the valley.
