From the outside, the old city wall is more worth seeing. A bit up the road towards the mountain is the chapel and cemetery. There is also a shady but steep trail there.

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. 🍕🍕🍕

Nestled at the foot of Revermont, the village owes its origin to its castle dating from the 12th century, the ruins of which are still visible. Located on land of wine appellations, we owe it Côtes du Jura, Crémant du Jura, Franche-Comté and Macvin du Jura.

Perched between Bresse and Revermont, this small village is home to the eponymous castle. Dating from the 12th century, the building dominates the Bresse plain from its rocky promontory located at an altitude of 470 meters. Largely in ruins, it can be visited free of charge all year round.

Built on a rocky promontory at an altitude of 482 meters, the castle dates from the 12th century. The scene of numerous sieges during the French invasions, it was pillaged and then largely destroyed at the end of the 18th century. Purchased in 1980 by a lover of the site, Marcel Duthion, the building was completely restored over around fifteen years to regain its original silhouette.
