Birthplace of Louis Pergaud

Highlight • Historical Site

House where Louis Pergaud was born on January 22, 1882, author of 'La Guerre des Boutons' and winner of the 1910 Goncourt prize with his collection of short stories entitled 'From Goupil to Margot'.
He drew heavily on his childhood memories in Doubs to write.

Sainte-Radegonde Chapel climb

Highlight (Segment) • Other

Pretty, fairly regular climb over 3km at 5% on average.

It leads to the Chapelle Sainte-Radegonde, built in 1541 and a major place of pilgrimage in the region until 1950.
A restoration of the chapel took place in 1854, giving us the building we see today.

The Dessoubre has its source in the Cirque de Consolation, at Consolation-Maisonnettes, and meanders through this superb valley. The valley is also classified as ZNIEFF (natural zone of ecological, fauna and flora interest), which means that it is a natural space considered remarkable.
The Consolation site itself is also known for its monastery, viewpoints, waterfalls and botanical gardens.

Girardot Mill

Highlight • Other

Mill of which we find traces from the 15th century which has had the name of Laval mill and Fauvel mill throughout its history. There were then several buildings there.
The flour mill was destroyed after a fire in 1989.
The sawmill, which still exists, closed in 1988 then was restored in 2016 following its inclusion in the historic monuments two years earlier. Only the transmissions are still there, the rest of the equipment having been dismantled when it closed.
The adjoining house which accommodated the owners is today a gîte.
