Thierry Martin-Braud
October 2, 2026, Château de Moncley

A neoclassical gem from the 18th century, the Château de Moncley was built between 1778 and 1790 by Bertrand, a disciple of Ledoux. Overlooking the Ognon valley, it is renowned for its elegant architecture and remarkably well-preserved interior decorations. Wikipedia

It's a pity that there is no bicycle tunnel here.

The Église de la Sainte-Trinité is a Catholic church in the village of Auxon-Dessous, in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region of France. The church was destroyed by fire in 1700 and was rebuilt in the 18th century in the Classical style. The church has a retable (a decorated altarpiece) from 1705 and some tombstones from the 17th and 18th centuries. The church was renovated in the 19th century under the direction of the architect Lucien CUENOT. The church is still in use for worship.

Beautiful, covered municipal wash house

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.

Lock in the connecting canal to the ship tunnel, approx. 3-4 m high.

A ship tunnel (1810) that can be walked through from the side as a shortcut for the Le Doubs river canal. On the other side of the canal there is a lock about 3-4 m high. There is a water curtain at both portals and the interior is beautifully and decoratively lit. Worth seeing.
