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.

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.

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.
