Reculée de Baume-les-Messieurs, Limestone valley formation in Jura, France.
The Reculée de Baume-les-Messieurs extends over 8.7 kilometers through limestone cliffs, featuring waterfalls and panoramic viewpoints overlooking the valley.
The valley houses an imperial abbey founded in the 9th century by Abbot Bernon, which later became an important religious center linked to Cluny Abbey.
The valley's geological formations and natural elements have influenced local architecture, with stone buildings integrated into the limestone landscape.
Visitors can access multiple hiking trails from the parking area near the abbey, with routes varying from 3.5 hours to full-day excursions.
The valley contains caves with underground chambers that visitors can explore through 55-minute guided tours throughout the year.
