Headwaters of the Cuisance
Petite Source de la Cuisance

The Cuisance has two short source streams that arise in the Reculée des Planches landscape in the municipality of Les Planches-près-Arbois and join in the village. The two karst springs Grande Source de la Cuisance (German: Great source of the Cuisance, also called the eastern source) and Petite Source de la Cuisance (German: Small source of the Cuisance, also called the southern source) are located in the imposing cliff end of the Cirque du Fer à Cheval (German: horseshoe kettle ). The catchment area of the springs is the karst , wooded plateau area .

The Kleine Cuisance is 1.7 km long and rises south of Les Planches-près-Arbois at the lower edge of the horseshoe basin in a natural forest reserve . Its stream bed, which runs northwest to north, is marked below the source by large occurrences of sintered steps made of tuff stones , which also form the striking Cascade des Tufs waterfall .

The 750 m long Große Cuisance rises directly from a high rock face east of the village of the spring cave Grotte des Planches . It unites in the village with the Kleine Cuisance coming from the south.

After the confluence of the source brooks, the Cuisance meanders with a slight gradient to the northwest and overcomes some rapids between Mesnay and Arbois . In the municipality of Souvans , the Cuisance flows into the Loue as a left tributary .
