See you there...

... At the combe de Leschères: sound site and hearing point.

How to get there :
On foot, 5 minutes from the village along the Angelon road, before haymaking, stay on the road or reach the bottom of the site by the Curtillet path below the village.
The Leschères site is a continuation of the Landoz. Set against the steep, wooded slopes of the combe, the village dominates an amphitheatre almost a kilometre in diameter. During the day, human activity, the ringing of the bell tower and the chime of cows in the meadows enliven the whole area, amidst the songs of birds and the hum of insects.
With the evening dew serin, silence settles in to make way for the cries of nocturnal birds of prey.
Soundscape concerts are given regularly in this major site.

Not to be missed:
In the village: from the upper street, the bell tower seems, purely by reflection, to be set in the forest that dominates it. The hamlet of Angelon is also an excellent listening point.

Elsewhere in the region, there are a number of sound sites:
- In Choux: belvedere at Cuchet
- Cinquétral: les Combes
- At Pratz: Saint-Romain de Roche
- At La Rixouse: Les pertes du Loutre
- At Les Bouchoux: at the point of the cemetery
- At La Pesse: the combe de Malatrait
- At Les Moussières: La Mura
