Tips from the Community
Chez Gervais is a historic establishment in the Loue valley. Its location by the river, in a green and bucolic setting, creates a unique atmosphere. Fly fishermen complete the picture when you are seated on the terrace. If you pass by, don't hesitate and come and sit at Edgar Faure's favorite table.

Failing to visit, since it is private, the Château de Cléron can be admired from the heights of Cléron, but also from its gardens. This medieval castle has been restored and offers observers a keep, machicolations, loopholes and stunners in excellent condition.

This is a dream place - and from the looks of it a great restaurant too. Unfortunately I didn't get a place anymore, it was very busy. But eating a few meters away from la Loue and in the sunshine would have been a dream.

This castle was built in 1320 by Humbert de Cléron, vassal of the Count of Burgundy, to protect the Loue ford on the great salt road of Franche-Comté. Modified and enlarged in the 15th and 18th centuries, the castle still retains its medieval defenses. Open Tuesday to Sunday from 2:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. (from 01/07 to 31/08, garden only, interior cannot be visited). Ticket price - 3 euros.

The Tour Saint-Denis is part of the Château de Scey, which was erected on a rocky outcrop separating the Loue valley and the Valbois ravine. The castle is compartmentalized into very distinct sections, including the barnyard, which in its time housed the sommellerie. Place where local wines such as Arbois, Savagnin or Gamay were stored.
