Beautiful little old town. There is an excellent gas-fired pizza place in town that we like to visit when we pass through. Everything is fresh and prepared on site. 🍕🍕🍕

The pretty medieval village of Cuiseaux is an ideal place for a stroll along its narrow streets and its walkway. Its remains dating from the Middle Ages testify to its past: 12th century fortified gate known as the "orchard gate", Renaissance houses with mullioned windows, castle of the Princes of Orange, watchtower house, washhouse, Saint-Thomas church with remarkable wooden stalls and its black Madonna, winegrowers' houses...

The Roman roads of Revermont make it possible to make the connection between various cities and nearby ancient agglomerations (Bourg-en-Bresse, Coligny, Lons-le-Saunier). Difficult to date and little studied, this building was the subject of a vast restoration campaign in the 1980s carried out by volunteers, which today allows us to walk in the footsteps of our ancestors. You can discover the traces left by the passage of wheels in the cobblestones and enjoy the shaded path that leads to the Montagna belvedere.
