Lods

This tiny hamlet on the Loue river in eastern France's Doubs département sits among vineyards and carries membership in Les Plus Beaux Villages de France, the national association recognising the country's most visually compelling villages. The wider Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region holds UNESCO World Heritage sites, and the surrounding landscape — water, hillside vines, mountain views — gives Lods a strong draw for photography.
