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.

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.

Fountain by the architect Pierre Marnotte, built in 1845-1846 and representing two small forts. This monument (listed as a historic monument) is lit up at dusk.

The sun will be your greatest ally during this passage. At first light, you will find magnificent plays of light between the trees. The same at dusk. In the fall, as the sun quickly sets, the trees become incandescent. Remember to turn around from time to time to discover the many views that the forest offers.

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.
