The Cusancin is a river in France that runs in the Doubs department in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region . It rises in the northwestern foothills of the Jura , in the municipality of Cusance and flows into the Doubs as a left tributary opposite Baume-les-Dames .

geography

The Cusancin rises near Cusance from the two large karst springs Source Noire (German “Black Source”) (location) and Source Bleue (German “Blue Source”) (location) . The two source rivers that arise there are named Cuse and Ance , from which the Cusancin is formed at their confluence .

Source Noire ("Black Source")
Source Bleue ("Blue Source")

Spring streams

The 300 m long, often more watery Cuse rises from a small cave in the rock. The Source Noire , or Source du Cusancin , is on the left side of the valley. The spring cave can dry up in dry times, so that the river only rises from small hillside springs a little further down the valley. The Source Bleue , a turquoise shimmering spring pot on the right side of the valley, is the source of the approximately 500 m long Ances . After a few hundred meters it takes up the torrent des Alloz stream, which has mostly fallen dry, and then joins the Cuse to the Cusancin. Both source streams operate a mill.

course

The Cusancin initially drains west through the approximately 150 meters deep valley of the Vallée de Cusance , then turns in several loops to the northeast and after 13 kilometers, opposite Baume-les-Dames, flows into the Doubs as a left tributary, which unites in this area Forms part of the Canal du Rhône au Rhin .
