A freight activity existed until 1991: coal was transported from Jussey for the activity of the Rochère glassworks... I ran in short pants after this train that we heard whistling from my grandparents' house from the carpentry in the 1970s We now pass over the viaduct at a height of more than 20 m via a superb cycle path which has rehabilitated this old line via the "Charles the Bold" route which joins CORRE towards the West and Epinal towards the East. The Charles the Bold Véloroute route takes, in France, the route of the V50 (In 2022, for legal reasons, the v50 must change its name. It becomes THE BLUE WAY Moselle-Saône by bike Luxembourg-Lyon) of Apach (57 Moselle) to Lamarche-sur-Saône (21 Côte d’Or). The Charles the Bold cycle route then reaches Dijon while the Voie Bleue heads towards Lyon. Have a nice trip to all!

Viaduct which connected Jussey to Epinal via Darnieulles by train, built between 1883 and 1886. The passage and establishment of a station in Passavant-la-Rochère was very important because of its large number of industrial establishments (and in particular the oldest art glassworks and crystal works in Europe, still in activity) . This specific area required the construction of a viaduct because the ground there was marshy. It was destroyed in 1944 by the Germans then rebuilt by German prisoners but the line ended up being decommissioned in 1951.

These are the ruins of the castle and church of Châtillon-sur-Saône. An old renaissance town. It is now a historical monument.
