How to find Nans-sous-Ste.Anne
We are halfway down the eastern side of France close to the Swiss border, to the south of Besancon, our county town.
If you can refer to a map of Switzerland, trace a line north from Geneva and west from Berne or Neuchatel in Switzerland. We are approximately where they intersect. Our nearest small towns are Salins-les-Bains and Levier.
Nans-sous-Ste. Anne or Sources du Lison features on smaller-scale maps such as Michelin 243 (or at B1-2 on page 98 of their French road atlas). You will find us easily east-north-east of Salins-les-Bains, or west-north-west of Levier.
Or let your fingers do the locating on:
www.viamichelin.co.uk. Our postcode is 25330. On the smaller scale Michelin map we are a little black triangle!
NB
Alas, there is no public transport to/from the village. It is perfectly feasible to come without motor transport and to content yourself with the facilities of the immediate area for a week. There is more than enough good walking, alone, and the village cheese dairy, bread van and restaurant will sustain life. But, clearly, for a wider range of visits – not to mention access to vineyards, cash-machines, supermarkets etc - independent motor transport is essential.Access
Nans lies beneath the 'U' of Mouchard, our nearest railway station
