Lods
One of 'Les Plus Beaux Villages de France', with a series of small waterfalls on the Loue, an old forge and winegrowers' stone houses forming a picturesque village.
Lods is built along the Loue valley. Natural stone steps in the river form a chain of small waterfalls, and on the banks lie the remains of an old blacksmith's workshop. The winegrowers' stone houses in the village recall its past as a wine-producing centre, and a small museum of vines and wine is located here. Nearby Mouthier-Haute-Pierre is known for cherries and cherry brandy. Free to stroll around, and it takes about an hour. It is about 12 km from Ornans and is a midpoint stop on the self-drive route through the Loue valley.
