Dole, a small jewel in the Franche-Comté. Through the alleys into the tanners' quarter, where the father of microbiology, Louis Pasteur, was born and the Doubs flows so calmly that you almost forget that this city was once the powerful capital of Franche-Comté. The architecture of the quarter still tells of tanners and leather craftsmanship: houses with large cellars where the hides were processed in pits and vats, as well as drying floors with wide openings through which the leather dried in the wind.

The Collegiate Church of Notre-Dame in Dole dominates the old town with its majestic bell tower, remarkable stained-glass windows, and rich historical and religious heritage. It is a true Gothic gem dating back to the Renaissance.
