A charming town in Franche-Comté, part of the Holy Roman Empire until the Treaty of 1678. Very prosperous in the Middle Ages, thanks to its trade and artisans. A cloth market was established there as early as the 14th century, after Joan of Burgundy, Countess of Franche-Comté and Queen of King Philip V the Long of France, brought weavers from Paris. From June 14, 1354, until the Revolution, the bourgeoisie of Marnay had a charter of emancipation that guaranteed them security and prosperity: "Whoever has a house and keeps a fire in the town will be a bourgeois." This charter allowed the inhabitants to administer the town themselves and thus build ramparts and create the individual gardens that can still be seen today.

The grand lavoir-abreuvoir in Geneuille is a historical monument dating from the 19th century. It was built in 1829 and restored in 1876 by the architect Ducat. This lavoir-abreuvoir, located on the rue de l’Abreuvoir, is a covered washhouse with a large abreuvoir running along the facade. It has a large esplanade for easy access. The complex consists of a fountain, a washhouse and a abreuvoir, and is an important vestige of the social life and work of our ancestors. The water enters via a canal and is collected in a large space with a beautiful vaulted structure.
