Tips from the Community

Luc Gesell
February 21, 2024, Château d'Étrabonne

The castle was built towards the end of the 11th century by Narduin d'Estrabonne. It has undergone numerous modifications over the centuries. It was its transformation into a farm that would have saved it from ending up in ruins at the time of the Revolution. The castle today retains a beautiful appearance, notably with a keep still worthy of the most beautiful castles.

This small fountain hidden on the edge of the woods serves as a refuge for three species of protected frogs. I don't recommend filling your bottle there, but you can take some nice photos there.

The Moutherot vineyard thrives on the slopes of this small village perched on top of a hill. It is one of the last vineyards in the Doubs department. It produces natural white wines and sparkling wines. This path passes near the vineyards and opens up a large panorama over the plain.

Nice walk, beautiful views in an easily accessible countryside. Rather mountain bike than vtc but nothing prevents you from putting your foot down for a few meters

Fountain-trough from 1830, it consists of 3 chambers with springs and a semicircular basin. The place was rehabilitated in 1990. The whole is integrated into an agricultural context. Five species of amphibians, 3 of which are protected at the national level, are present in this sector. We note in particular the presence of the yellow-bellied piper also protected in Europe (INPN)
