December 12, 2025, View of Lac de Remoray

A very pretty viewpoint from the road overlooking Lake Remoray, a discreet neighbor of Lake Saint-Point. Located in the heart of a wild and preserved natural environment, it benefits from the status of a national nature reserve, and shelters a biological treasure: more than 200 species of birds, nearly 1,300 species of insects and 42 species of mammals find refuge there.

Lake Remoray is one of the richest areas of Doubs in terms of nature. On this 430 hectare site there are numerous plant and animal species due to the wide variety of natural environments (marshes, lakes, peat bogs, forests, meadows, gravel pits, rivers), and also at altitude. 1872 species are currently recorded there.

This city in the Middle Ages was a highly strategic place. For more than 300 years, from the 13th to the 16th century, its inhabitants controlled the commercial exploitation of salt by establishing rights of passage for merchants who went to Switzerland. So you will find in its center many beautiful period houses, irrefutable testimonies of this ancient wealth. The castle of the princes of Oranges was destroyed, and did not stand the test of time.

The Church of the Assumption was built in 1749 and its bell tower in 1804. Above the altar two paintings of a triptych by the artist Jean Poyet, painted around 1502 were exhibited at the Louvre Museum . These two canvases have been listed as historical monuments since 1930.
