Viewpoint from Roche Devant

“The Roche Devant belvedere offers an almost southern atmosphere with its rocky outcrops, dry grasslands and prolonged exposure to sunlight... From it, visitors are offered a view over the plateau and the forest of Risoux just opposite, as well as a horizontal view of the valley of Bellefontaine extending from the village to the Morez wind gap, passing through the gorges of l’Évalude. The mosaic of meadows and wooded areas that makes up the valley appears to be progressively swallowed up by the forest rolling down the Risoux. This impression is particularly noticeable south of the village of Bellefontaine.” F. Wattellier
