Vulliafans with around 700 inhabitants in the Doubs department in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region - a magical place with the Pont Vieux - this bridge with its 3 arches was built in the 17th century. Further into the town center there are numerous town and farm houses that were built in the characteristic style of Franche-Comté in the 16th to 18th centuries. One of the oldest houses is the former manor house La Forteresse from the 14th/15th century. The really beautiful thing is the authentic flair.

A beautiful valley - very relaxing to drive. La Roche Bottine is the right-hand rock edge that you see above Ornans. It is on the right of Ornans towards Lahier, above the D492 The left-hand rock edge is the Belvédére de Notre-Dame du Mont. Curious rock... its special shape inspired its name: La Roche Bottine

The arch of the old bridge over the Loue is a historical vestige located in Vuillafans. This arch was perhaps built in the 14th century. During the construction of the N 67, several arches were covered. The bridge collapsed in 1916, but one arch was preserved as a souvenir. The site, including the Loue waterfalls, the arch of the old bridge and their surroundings, was listed as a historical monument on 4 January 1943.

Here you have a view of three rock masses. The question is which one is the Roche Bottines

The Roue Pouguet is a historic water wheel in Ornans, France, designed by Étienne Joseph Pouguet in the 19th century. This ingenious system adapted to variations in river flow without hindering navigation or timber floating. It was a revolutionary improvement for millers and is now cherished as a rare industrial heritage
