Source de l'Ain, Natural spring in Conte, France

The Source de l'Ain emerges from underground caves, forming a clear water stream that flows through limestone formations and forest landscapes.

The spring waters powered foundries in Bourg-de-Sirod during the 14th century, reaching their industrial peak during the Napoleonic period.

The spring holds significance in local folklore, with numerous tales about its waters passed through generations of Jura mountain inhabitants.

Two marked trails of 2 and 3.2 kilometers from the Bourg-de-Sirod parking area lead visitors through the spring's natural environment.

During heavy rainfall, the spring's water flow increases dramatically, while in drought periods, it reveals a deep cavity in the limestone.
