You will encounter local history where culture and traditions are carried on and where you can learn about the customs of past centuries by visiting museums such as the Comtois Clothing, the Vine, and the Cheese Making Museums, as well as the museum of our famous regional painter: Gustave COURBET.

The Loue Valley proposes a wide range of activities. It is a fisherman's paradise where anglers can spend a bit of time with trout and char while listening to the sounds of the waterfalls and nature.
