Whether you are free or accompanied, you will learn a lot about absinthe, brandies, the making of Pontarlier-anis and above all, you will be able to taste the whole range of products in order to visit the whole region in a gustative way.

At 6 km from Château-Chalon, an amazing site that could compete in the remote of Baume-les-Messieurs. Lédoniens are many on the hiking trail on Sundays. Well indicated, it leaves Blois-sur-fit and carries out a loop at the bottom of the remote. In particular, we discovered the old milk cable that was feeding the village once. The view makes it possible to appreciate the beauty of the landscape. We can then understand how the Jura formed a few million years ago: an exceptional place. For nibble, on-site restaurant or hostel on the farm in Fay-en-Montagne

The Marcel's have been a strange family for a few decades in Marcel Aymé's country. Some will say that some people are crazy, where good humour and farce are omnipresent. Constituted as an association, it is the meeting between a woodcarver and his supplier. The family is now large, with about a hundred wooden carved characters called the "Marcel's", in homage to the famous writer.... A rural family, too, which depicts life in the past, tells the story of the arrival of the train in the village, the legend of the Vouivre or that of the "Pacolets" that haunt the forest. Guided by a soundtrack, you can visit a castle and its medieval street. Further on, in the deep forest where the "Marcel's jalopy" takes you, a storyteller tells other stories. The 2019 program is provided:

2 formulas for groups from 10am to 6pm. They will take place on June 16, July 6, 20, 21, August 24 and 25, September 14 and 15.

This multimedia pole of Franche-Comté is set up by the Country of Montbéliard, with the support of the Development and Planning Agency for economic development. 12 years ago, the creation of the CICV Pierre Schaeffer already emerged in the techniques of the image. Today, Numerica, a multimedia pole of Franche-comté, looks at new technologies on a new day: digital for industry. For the first time, researchers and economic actors associate themselves with the same project to develop new technologies in the direction of image, but also for their use in the industrial production chain. The economic and cultural tradition of the region lends itself to such a marriage. Built on the campus campus of the Jura Gates in Montbéliard, the Multimedia development centre marks the Uniqueness and excellence of this unique project in France. On 4 400 m 2 and three levels, this centre brings together all actors in information and communication technology. Businesses, teachers, researchers, students, trainers work in the same place.
