853 meters above sea level, forts and steep slopes... Mont Poupet is not only one of the most beautiful peaks on the edge of the Jura. It's also a paradise for hikers. At the start of the parking lot, under the cross, a belvedere (accessible to people with reduced mobility) offers a superb panoramic view. And that's not all: from Salins, a 10.2 km climb with a 512 m vertical drop awaits you. But your efforts will be amply rewarded! Breathtaking.

Recognized for its innovation and quality, this dynamic company has renewed its catalogue as well as its production tool in recent years.

The trail du Loup-Werewolf is a trail marked by various panels on life in the greenhouse massif and its heritage. The itinerary passes through a painted fresco which represents the history of the werewolf valley of the Angels Valley. In 1573, famine in the region was in the region, children were kidnapped and eaten… The Parliament of Dole allowed villagers to organize a hunting against this horrible werewolf. Gilles Garnier, a hermit living in the forest, is arrested and tried. Was he really the culprit? Historians are still questioning today. But this story is just a bad memory. Following the trail, we also learn about other, less frightening aspects of the greenhouse massif.

The mill Decollogne, historically serving the prestigious Parisian bakers, opens its doors and unveils its atypical construction.

Follow the transformation of soft wheat in "Haute Mouture" flour. From the wheat field to the top of the oven, discover all the stages of making the old bread and find the taste of the craquante wand and the savoureuse!

Departing from the town hall, the heritage trail has 11 stops with explanatory panels. It winds its way through the heart of Rully, and a little way out to take in the views of the village and its surrounding vineyards.

A beautiful walk, with no major difficulties, but with a slight gradient.
