FORMER ROYAL PRISONS OF SAINT-AMOUR
Read moreUnique in the Jura. These old royal prisons house the audience (courthouse) with two bodyguards on the ground floor and two courtrooms on the first floor. In the back, we see the prisons themselves: the cour courtyard and apartment, the pistole, the chapel, the court of the prisoners, two detention rooms, three underground cachots with door-to-desk doors. These buildings, which were those of the Justice des Gabelles, were built in 1741. They were mainly used to try smugglers because the smuggling of salt, tobacco and fabrics was particularly active in Saint-Amour, a village located on the border of several provinces. After the annexation of Franche-Comté in 1678, the province maintained an advantageous tax system relative to its neighbours in Bresse and Burgundy. After the Revolution, the audience was occupied by the employees of the Grant, while the rest of the settlement became a prison of passage for the inmates of Lons-le-Saunier in Bourg-en-Bresse and vice versa. Several hundred live there every year. A very interesting visit.
L’ARSENAL D’ARTILLERIE
Read moreBuilt in 1689 by Vauban, Louis XIV's great military architect, to make reliquaries of canons there, this arsenal played a major role in the supply of the army, during the revolutionary and imperial wars. The pediments of the entries are decorated with arm trophies. The arsenal consists of several buildings of a beautiful architectural complex: One now serves as food markets for the market (every Friday mornings), the others, which housed work of the wheelwrights and the large forge, became annexes of the high school.

Colourful stained-glass windows and a starlight ceiling. The more recent one of the nineteenth century is the apothecary- the pharmacy - has a fine collection of earthenware, utensils and treaties of medicine.
