River Bienne comes from Jura mountains near Prémanon and joins river Tacon near Saint Claude. Just before the junction, it runs through the city which has many big or small bridges.

Hérisson waterfalls is the name of a famous french waterfalls range in Jura department (see more here).
I returned there a few days ago for the first time since my first visit in 2011 and i was glad to find a decent water level in the river and a kind freshness in the valley.

Grand Saut is not the most well known of all the waterfalls on the river (probably because one has to leave the main path) but i find the place really beautiful.

Note :
All my images about these waterfalls are here.

Saint Claude is one of the main cities in Haut Jura Natural Park. It's crossed by river Bienne and known for its cathedral and craftwork on wood and stones.

Sillingy is a little village in Haute Savoie department. Although it's just near Annecy (the big city), its close surroundings are still quiet and green.

I arrived there in the early morning a few days ago, expecting some nice springtime scenes in the meadows but the rain arrived with me. I had to find a bridge to protect myself during about half an hour. When the weather became temporarily better i could have a short walk and the sun was kind enough to light this beautiful field during a few minutes.

Two days ago i was caught by the rain while making images of the rural landscape around Annecy.
I first found a little forest to protect myself but the rain didn't stop and i drove back. As i was close to home, the rain disapeared and i found this beautiful path i had never seen before. I stopped for a few images and couldn't resit to a little exploration.

An image from about one year ago of this beautiful waterfall on Bronze river.

I returned there some weeks ago after a few days of storms and strong rain, the waterfall was unrecongnizable and looked like small Niagara falls.

An image from a june trip in the mountains of Haut Jura Natural Park.
It was a beautiful evening on the valley with sun and clouds in the sky. I really love that place, lost between mountains and forests.

Note 1 : I've posted this morning 16 images from this day on my website.

Note 2 : On friday, i discovered and climbed a little mountain behind the ones you can see here. The light was not so beautiful but the view on Jura department was truely amazing. Photos will come soon.
