our nature :
A preserved and easily accessible natural environment awaits you in a land of lakes and hills. You will find the diversity of places to visit enchanting: lakes, waterfalls, rivers, caves, viewpoints… Some sites like the Plateau of 7 lakes and Hérisson waterfalls are classified as a « great natural site ».In low moutains, the wealth of its ecosystems has led to proposing this land as one of the largest Natura 2000 sites in France.
Waterfalls The Hérisson waterfalls
Great natural site (B8) The Hérisson (805 m altitude) is installed in a valley surrounded by cliffs. The course of its waters (15 km) rushes down the backwater in a series of 31 falls before crossing Lakes Val and Chambly. The Hérisson thus descends 280 m over a distance of 3 km. This is the opportunity for a walk on the path along the river (7.5 km one way and return / 2 hours and fifty minutes to see
all the falls). There you can admire the multitude of waterfalls, basins and caves meeting your eyes. At every step of the journey, take the time to listen to the soothing sound of running water (at Saut of Moulin Jeunet, Saut of Forge, Saut of Château Garnier or Gour Bleu)... Or to gaze at the impressive Cascade of Éventail (65m), Grand Saut (60m) and Saut Girard (35m) waterfalls. Bravest people can pass under the Grand Saut, whose form is like a tail of horse! Pay attention to the ruins of cereal mills, old ironwork and nail factories (From the 15th Century, the valley had a strong
historical background, using water energy). On the path, you will find the Lacuzon cave, which was the headquarters of the famous captain Lacuzon while fighting for independence of the Franche – Comté region in the
”
17th Century. For more detailed information, you can visit the house of waterfalls located next to cascade of Éventail (information screens, museographic space). Saut Girard
Waterfall of Eventail
Pratical information about Hérisson walk (open all year): • Time and distance of the whole path: 2h50 / 7.8 km / 255 metres of difference in height. You can download the path of Hérisson waterfalls in our website www.juralacs.com • The path is not a circuit, you must go to one way and return (you must go back to your departure to reach your car). • It’s a walking path, it is advisable to wear walking shoes. • Do not go out of the marked paths (be careful with children). • For babies, take a baby sling (path is not possible with push chair). • Respect fauna and flora.
Access to waterfalls: 3 ways to access the waterfalls: • Parking of Eventail (access to the house of waterfalls): from Doucier, take road D326 and enter Valley of Hérisson. • Parking of Saut de la Forge: access from the center of Bonlieu. • Parking of Saut Girard: go to Ilay and Hameau de La Fromagerie by road D39 or D75.

Waterfall of Quinquenouille (G3) A marked path (8.5 km) leaving Chatonnay (direction Dramelay) will make you discover this nice fall (35 m.) as well as the small medieval bridge going over the Dard.
Giants passing and fall of Saisse (C5) In Pont de Poitte, at the level of the bridge crossing the village, stop for a moment and look at the “Giants’ Cauldron”. In reality, these whirlpools were formed over time thanks to the combined forces of the Ain rapids and stones that by repeated friction dug out the rock. In the harbour of Saisse, you will discover the spectacular way that the Ain falls into Lake Vouglans: this is the
Saisse fall, well known to fishermen. It is most impressive in winter.

Archaelogical sites Lake village in Lake CHALAIN (A7) and CLAIRVAUX LES LACS (C6) Between 4000 and 1000 B.C, the first farmers built their villages on piles on the shores of lakes Chalain and Clairvaux Les Lacs. The vestiges were exceptionally well preserved under the level of the lake. The archaeological zone is not presently open to the public. Exhibit at Clairvaux-les-Lacs in summer. More information: www.chalain.culture.gouv.fr
Dinosaurs tracks - COISIA (I4) 140 million years ago, the Coisia region had a tropical climate. There was a beach or a lagoon (like the ones in the Bahamas) instead of the fields, cliffs and forests that there are now. A shallow sea covered the region and sand banks sometimes appeared when the sea level was low. Herds of dinosaurs in search of food wandered over these sand banks and left imprints in the mud. In 2004, tracks of dinosaurs (kind of diplodocus) were discovered. The access to the site is not layed out. The site is on the border of a road and can be dangerous for walkers. Watch your children and be very careful.

Other places of interest Vouglans Dam (G5) Its first flooding in 1968 created the 3rd largest reservoir lake in France (600 million m3 of water). It was created to satisfy man’s energy needs. This is a thin arch type dam (only 6 m. thick at the summit) deployed over 420 m. It is not open to visits but you will find several viewpoints.
Pyle Bridge LA TOUR DU MEIX (E5) Built by the electric company at the same time as the dam, it measures 351 m. long and 9 m. wide for a total height of 75 m. Beautiful view on lake Vouglans.
