Rougemont is an ancient fortified village with surviving ramparts, a medieval gate, and an ancient castle. The village also boasts a 13th-century collegiate church, a listed historic monument. Its history is linked to that of the lords of Rougemont, who were influential in the region during the Middle Ages.

The Ognon crossing at Pont-sur-l'Ognon offers a scenic and serene experience for cycle tourists. As you cycle, take time to enjoy the tranquil atmosphere, with the sound of the river flowing below and the birds singing in the trees.

A solid bridge over the Ognon River with a beautiful view of the river and the riparian forest (all of the wooded, bushy and herbaceous formations present on the banks of a watercourse). The Ognon crosses four departments: Côte-d'Or, Doubs, Jura, Haute-Saône.

The cycle path passes right next to this old station. It no longer serves this purpose and there is no entrance (a fence will deter you), however, it now appears to be a small office building.
