Notre-Dame du Mont, Scenic viewpoint in Ornans, France
Notre-Dame du Mont stands on a limestone plateau offering extensive views over the Loue Valley and the red-roofed buildings of Ornans below.
The viewpoint has served as a religious pilgrimage destination since the 19th century, marked by the installation of a marble statue at its summit.
The site connects to a network of hiking trails known as Courbet paths, named after the renowned painter who frequently depicted the surrounding landscapes.
Visitors can access the viewpoint through a 5.8-kilometer loop trail starting from the Ornans football stadium, including a steep metal staircase section.
The observation point reaches 489 meters in elevation and features exposed limestone cliffs that create natural balconies over the Loue River valley.
