You then witness the production of natural sourdough breads, cakes and shortbreads baked in a wood-fired oven. So many good things available in the shop! A word of advice to gourmets: the mill also offers courses to learn how to make bread or brioche, with various formulas, especially for families, all in a very preserved setting. The mill continues to grow. A new room has been renovated to house a former turning mill and the arrival (in working order) of a 19th century threshing machine.

This old fruit was founded in 1818 and remained intact until today. Located in the centre of the village, it delivers all the secrets of the county's manufacture and covers, from A to Z and without ever occulter nothing, the whole process of the mythical cheese, before the time when the "chalets" were equipped with modern equipment, meeting French and then European standards.

In the heart of the city, under the arcades, the Mullet de Mullet's native apartment was returned and evokes, through explanatory panels, its major work, La Marseillaise, and its life, from birth in Lons-le-Saunier in 1760 until its death in 1836 in Choisy-le-Roi. You discover many original documents, personal objects: his sword, the violin bow of La Marseillaise… This place of memories is part of the Juramusées network. .

Heritage is not only made up of historic buildings, castles, churches or other weapons of war, it is also shaped by the objects of daily life used by our ancestors. The Jura Rural Heritage Association has saved the destruction of machines and tools that retrace transformations and the gradual modernization of agriculture. It has also reconstituted workshops and artisan shops that make us discover the many professions around the agricultural world: cheese cheesemakers, cobblers, sabotiers… All the objects displayed testify to a great ingenuity that it is important not to erase collective memory.

Its pink facades have not aged a bit. For good reason, the first Crédit Agricole de France, which was created in this spa in 1885, has undergone a complete facelift. Long abandoned, the establishment in front of the fairgrounds has been reborn from its ashes for two and a half years. It has been transformed into a museum. As a reminder, the creation of this first mutual structure was the work of Alfred Bouvet and Louis Milcent, encouraged by 72 people who were unable to finance their projects through banks. The approach is reminiscent of the spirit of county fruit farms generated by the avant-garde Jura farmers. The interior of the walls evokes the cooperative model that animated these pioneers, but it is also dedicated to the future. The complex is completed by a meeting room and is the headquarters of a foundation made available to the cooperative world in general.
