This obviously interested me in my search for a good tour and that's why I looked here as I had no idea what dolmens were: https://www.lieux-insolites.fr/hsaone/brevilliers/brevilliers.htm The Brévilliers dolmen This dolmen was excavated between 1976 and 1984 by Messrs Petrequin and Pinigre. It is part of a group of 18 megaliths located on the limestone plateau of the Haute-Saône, north of the Jura Arc. These monuments are the survivors of what is certainly a much larger whole. Archival documents refer to a second dolmen in Brévilliers. But this one has unfortunately disappeared. ………….

The Salbert forest is home to a marked, maintained and free Enduro mountain bike area. There are several mountain bike trails among the trees, with hilarious names. The blue and red slopes start from here, therefore of intermediate difficulty. If you like to meet other mountain bikers, this site is for you, as it is quite popular with Enduro enthusiasts.

The construction of the Mont-Vaudois fort took 3 years between 1874 and 1877. In 1885, the invention of the torpedo shell, I suppose, bombarded the fort from above and led to the construction of an underground bunker as a defense. In 1944, faced with the advance of the Allies, a German unit occupied the fort and was driven out without success, despite a barrage of 3,000 shells. The Germans withdrew on their own. A testimony of this bunker built in 1885.
