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.

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 🦆🦌🐜

Village rich in beautiful built heritage in addition to benefiting from the proximity of Ognon. In the center, you will find the washhouse-fountain-watering trough which was restored in the 90s as well as the Saint-Germain church whose choir still dates from the 12th century.

Bellevaux Abbey was a Cistercian monastery, founded in 1120 by Pons de Morimond, near present-day Cirey, in Haute-Saône, France. At that time it was in Franche-Comté. It was removed in 1790 and sold in 1791. Shortly after, the church was demolished. 1795 the buildings were purchased by Jean-Charles Pichegru. The “castle” site, for its part, hosts events (medieval festivals, markets) in its park thanks to the dynamism of an association seeking to promote the former religious domain. The old abbey is open to visitors from time to time. Information on 06 33 80 08 12 or 03 84 94 84 98.

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.
