Facts about Nans-sous-Sainte-Anne

• Nans-sous-Sainte-Anne on Google Maps

Infrastructure, shopping, dining

Public transport is nonexistent here, so having a motor vehicle is essential. Nearest train stations: Mouchard, Frasne, Pontarlier.

The water supply is safe for drinking – no need to buy bottled.

The village restaurant is «Chez Roméo et Patricia» (recommended!), or you can try the Auberge du Pont du Diable just up the hill in Crouzet-Migette – likewise well worth a visit, but do check their website beforehand for opening times.

A dairy store across the road from the village square sells excellent Comté, Morbier and other local cheeses, regional specialities – mainly sweet or alcoholic – as well as bread (baguettes only), and eggs. Only sterilised (UHT) milk is available at the small supermarkets in Amancey and Levier; for pasteurised milk you must go to Salins-les-Bains.

A baker’s van passes through the village six mornings a week.

There is a mailbox in front of the mayor’s office / village hall (collections every weekday morning). Mobile phone coverage (with 4G) is adequate considering the local topology.

The nearest larger supermarkets are in Salins-les-Bains. But you will also find a pharmacy, a bank and a post office in Amancey or Levier. Expect a 15-minute drive in whichever direction.
