Gorges de la Langouette, Natural canyon in Jura Mountains, France.

The gorge extends for one kilometer through limestone formations, reaching depths of 47 meters and narrowing to 4 meters at certain points.

An industrial complex including a mill and sawmill operated at the gorge entrance from 1871 until its destruction by fire in 1959.

The Upper Saine Valley, encompassing the gorges, received national natural heritage status in September 2011 for its environmental significance.

The hiking trail starts at a designated parking area located 2 kilometers from Saint Laurent toward Foncine le Bas, before the main bridge.

Giant potholes formed by river erosion mark the path leading to the main waterfall, which drops 10 meters into the gorge below.
