Valay – Did you know? The town's name comes from the Celtic words "Val," meaning iron, and "Aid," meaning abundance. Pieces made in Valay were used in the construction of the Grande Galerie at the 1889 Universal Exhibition. It's even rumored that Valay cast iron flows within the Eiffel Tower!

Marnay Castle, built from the 11th century onwards, was remodeled several times up until the 18th century. Formerly the residence of the lords of Marnay, it still has a medieval tower, Renaissance façades and a large wooded park.

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.

Valay boasts a distinctive architectural heritage: stone farms, old workshops, and wash houses. The town was also home to a major pottery factory in the 19th century, some of whose remains still exist.

In the Serre massif, a natural area perfect for mountain biking, the Hermitage cave is a curiosity that invites you to take a break. If erosion has given the rock its particular shape, the human hand has also intervened in the shaping of the cave.
