The Tallenay washhouse, built in the 19th century, once served the village's washerwomen. Fed by a spring, it is typical of the region's utilitarian architecture, with its gable roof and stone basins.

Perched north of Besançon, Châtillon-le-Duc overlooks the Ognon Valley from its rocky outcrop. Here you'll discover the remains of a former 19th-century military fort, built on the ruins of a feudal castle.

We don't have the same definition of mountain biking!!! 80-90% road!!! Advantage: no need to clean the mountain bikes!!! In short, it's not mountain biking. It's a shame the circuits aren't checked.

Much too dangerous. I went through paths in the woods that were very narrow and difficult to access. The fall would have been fatal. I do not recommend this route

A small pond in the woods of Thise, you can see many aquatic insects, as well as newts and toads. Many animal tracks are present, so stay discreet and keep your eyes open 🦆🦌🐜

The most common washhouses were built in the 19th century. Their development was encouraged by the prefects to improve public health. Multiple water points, they are both a washhouse, a watering hole for livestock and a water provider for households.
