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

France's largest building in wood frame and insulation of straw, La Damassine is intended to be educational with raising public awareness of eco-construction and energy saving. It also aims to promote rural heritage, including through orchards and numerous animations around the cultivation of fruit trees, fauna and flora. The availability of facilities such as press, miellerie and professional kitchens allows everyone to benefit from wise advice for the maintenance of orchards, and to press fruit to make its juices. A unique and exceptional place to visit absolutely. 

Take the road from Malans (D 181), by a way through the fields and woods. You will reach the Chanoy, a point of view located 277 m away, and go down by the Bois woods to reach Chaumercenne. In the north of the city, on the Gray road, see the ancient Capuchin convent (th century) founded in the great epidemics and intended for care of the sick.

Since Baume-les-Dames, you simply have to follow the Republic's forest path to reach the site, unless you choose to go a little further: In this case, find out from the local tourist office to obtain the exact itinerary. Used in the th century by inhabitants for the development of their houses, the stones of this quarry have been reserved exclusively for the construction of the St. Martin church.

Between stones and vineyards. To find the starting point for this trail, just climb the aisle that borders the tourist office, go to the Art and Technology Museum and continue a few metres. The trail is punctuated by 30 panels that tell the history of the site (here are the stones used for building roofs and walls) and present the local fauna and flora. A country walk, easy and informative.

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.
