One of the most beautiful rivers in France. It
springs up near the village of Ouhans, leaps from the rock and forms a waterfall. The Loue
course is very attractive and canoeing downstream is very easy, it looses
229 m (4,507 ft) of altitude over some 20 km (12 miles).
The Loue Valley is probably one of the most beautiful sites of the region, specially the
stretch between its source and its capital, Ornans. From lookouts to
blind valleys, it offers a succession of surprising panoramic views and shelters numerous
picturesque villages.
Ornans is a privileged fishing site. This little burg houses the "Maison Nationale de
l'Eau et de la Pêche" (National House of Water and Fishing), which is a meeting
center, a professional training center and a unique museum in France with a collection of
over 4,000 fishing-related objects.
