A visit to the Courbet Museum in Ornans... Magnificent views over the lush green valleys of the Lison and Loue rivers, home of the painter Gustave Courbet, where the skills of yesteryear are carefully preserved and showcased, in the service of an art of living in the present!

Morning
Your choice:
- Guided tour of Ornans, following in the footsteps of Gustave Courbet. From the painter's studio to the ruelle des Tanneries with its typical houses... Every bend in the town bears a mark of its past, with the Loue River in the middle providing a soothing backdrop to this walk.
- OR a guided tour of the Musée Gustave Courbet: the museum trail tells the story of Courbet's life from Ornans to Paris and the aesthetic revolution he led, in constant parallel with his political and social commitments.

Lunch
Salade de la Loue / Hot ham with Comté cheese sauce, sautéed potatoes, green salad / Seasonal fruit tart / ¼ litre of wine and coffee

Afternoon
Visit to the Hameau du Fromage in Cléron: all the secrets of modern and traditional Comté cheese-making. From milk collection to maturing in the cellars (morbier, comté...), big screen cinema, exhibition galleries, wine and cheese tasting, crafts...

-Arrival at Nans-sous-Sainte-Anne, a picturesque village. Guided tour of the Taillanderie Philibert, a 19th-century farm workshop listed as a historic monument. Follow the various stages in the manufacture of a scythe, including the operation of the hydraulic machinery and the oak wind tunnel; the shipping shop, the forge room...

-Discover the Source du Lison: a spectacular resurgence in the heart of the river that makes for a very pleasant walk. Its grotto, the waterfall (which never dries up) that gushes from it, and the blue-green colours in all seasons make it a very popular place to visit. A car park just a hundred metres away provides easy access to the site.
