Gorges de la Langouette

The Langouette gorges are impressive for their vastness and the uniqueness of their wild setting. Dotted with the play of light that illuminates the mosses and ferns that abound beneath the wooded canopy, they exude a gentle, serene atmosphere that's perfect for recharging your batteries. This unspoilt site offers a privileged view of the water as it shapes the canyon with its capricious meanders. Tumultuous and unpredictable, the Petite Saine defies all obstacles to continue its course before merging with the Ain a few kilometres further on.

In the wake of this tempestuous watercourse, a path embellished with footbridges and belvederes allows you to fully appreciate the charm of the place before reaching the highlight of the show: an imposing ten-metre-high waterfall that was once used to power a hydroelectric plant. Let yourself be carried along by the water for a moment of peace and quiet, resolutely out of time.
