Nice place for a break, the terrace is pleasant and shaded. A simple menu, good products. Carp fritters for those who want to pedal gently after the break.

Thurey-le-Mont is nestled in the wooded hills north of Besançon. Its washhouse, built in the 19th century, is fed by a spring and served the village's domestic needs. It still has its stone walls and slate roof.

Perched north of Besançon, Châtillon-le-Duc overlooks the Ognon Valley from its rocky outcrop. Here you'll discover the remains of a former 19th-century military fort, built on the ruins of a feudal castle.

Destroyed in 1477 by the troops of Louis XI, the fortified house was rebuilt in the 16th century by Étienne de Labrey. The building is now occupied by a farm. The building was listed as a historical monument in 1977. WIKIPEDIA

10th century chapel with a slate roof (redone in 2014). It was originally a more important building but since the 19th century, only the choir remains.

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.
