Mièges

Highlight • Historical Site

Former priory of Cluny, Mièges remains an essential place on the paths of Via Cluny. Its hermitage welcomes pilgrims who come to honor Our Lady of Montaigu.

Its church has been rebuilt several times. It has a remarkable porch whose sculptures combine elements from the decorative repertoire of flamboyant Gothic and Renaissance motifs.

Nozeroy

Highlight • Settlement

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.

Mouthe

Highlight • Settlement

Mouthe is known by the nickname of Little French Siberia. It can indeed be very cold in winter. In spring and summer it is a very pleasant place due to its proximity to Lake Remorray and to the source of the Doubs which is located near the municipal campsite in the village.

Saint-Michel Church of Mignovillard

Highlight • Religious Site

At the beginning, Mignovillard and its annexes depended, from the religious point of view, on the church of Mièges. The priors and monks sent by the abbot of Saint-Claude or Cluny practiced with all the population that crowded into these mountains. However, every Sunday we had to face the distance that separates Mignovillard from the church of Mièges.
