"Five hours and forty minutes of walking is tiring, very tiring... One morning, just before autumn, with the map and the AJTP hiking guide in my rucksack, I take the Jura Railways train and get off with "the team of happy companions" at Saignelégier station. Our aim: to reach Glovelier via the Tabeillon Valley. Our first break, just after heading towards the Pond of the Plain de Saigne with its heathland roses: the Restaurant de la Combe, whose player-piano is worth a short stop by itself. This is the start of a wonderful trip to the valley of the Combe Tabeillon, whose densely wooded path is steeped in history. It leads us towards the pond of Bollement, at the end of which a sawmill once stood. Perhaps there was also a forgotten castle? This picturesque gorge invites you to stroll, daydream and awaken your senses. On a gentle slope, the descent to Glovelier presents us with scenery worthy of the age of smugglers. From there we returned home, but not before drinking a toast to our friendship."
