Jura gorges and waterfalls

Follow the N57 then D70 out of Besançon and you reach Baume-les-Messieurs in about 1h05, 66 km of road rising onto the first Jura plateau. Karst has carved box‑valleys ending in cliff‑ringed cirques; at their base, springs feed travertine ledges like the Cascades des Tufs by the Benedictine abbey founded in the 9th century. Further south, the Hérisson River drops over 31 falls along a 3.7 km corridor between Bonlieu and Ilay. Vineyards around Château-Chalon, beech woods, and windy lookouts set the tone.

The day is easy by design: hotel pickup in Besançon, a dedicated Mercedes at your disposal, and a flexible pace for unplanned stops. Your driver handles the roads while you tour the abbey, take the boardwalks beside the falls, or taste 24‑month Comté and vin jaune with a grower in Passenans. With Amani Limousines’ private chauffeur in the Jura, you flow from site to site without parking hassles, hiking shoes and windbreakers in the trunk, timing shaped to families and photographers alike.
