Verdun-Ciel (formerly Verdun-sur-le-Doubs), a medieval town located at the confluence of the Saône and Doubs rivers, owes its eventful history to the two waterways that surround it, having long served as a border town between Burgundy and France. Visit its marina and lively quays, and taste its culinary specialty, pôchouse (a freshwater fish dish).

At the beginning of the 16th century, a hospital was founded on Saint Laurent island. The sisters' building, which is easily recognizable by its stepped gable, still dates from this period. The adjacent building replaced the ward in the 19th century, which was demolished in 1854. The dome was erected around 1770 and heavily rebuilt during the modernization of the hospital (1854-1870).
