Loue River valley
Loue River valley is found in the Franche-Comte region, south-east of Besancon.
The river emerges dramatically from the bottom of a cliff near Ouhans (in reality it is the Doubs river re-emerging, a fact not established until the early 20th century), and then flows through attractive countryside of hills and valleys.
Notable along the course of the Loue are the 'gorges de la Loue' - canyon carved by millions of years of erosion by the river - the pretty towns of Ornans and Lods that lie along its course.
The valley is now a popular tourist destination, especially for canoeing, and is also said to be one of the best rivers for fly-fishing.
There is a pleasant walk that descends the valley from the source of the river.
Nearby: a little to the east, visit the abbey at Montbenoit to see the cloisters and church in this village on the banks of the Doube river.
Other places you will come across in the valley include Mouthier-haute-Pierre, Vuillafans-Chateauvieux and Ouhans, Cleron and Scey-en-Veray.
