The Montarlot tumulus was built between the two Iron Ages, from 600 to 450 BC. It measures nearly 20 m in diameter and a total height of 1.30 m. (Source: 4 Rivières Tourist Office) Unfortunately, it is relatively overgrown with scrub.

At the foot of this statue of the Virgin Mary overlooking the village of Montarlot-lès-Champlette, there is a bench that offers a beautiful view of Champlitte and its surroundings, as well as the Jura and the Alps. The statue is located along the Sentier des Chèvres, a pretty single-track passage along the edge of the hill (very nice for mountain biking!).

The highlight here is taken from the resting point above the exit. There is also a table here.

The Savoyeux tunnel was built during the July Monarchy, in 1837. It facilitates navigation on the Saône. The dimensions of the work are impressive: 642.5 meters long, and only 6.55 meters wide. It passes under the hill and makes it possible to cut a meander in the river, and to avoid a dam located a little higher up.

The Tunnel de Savoyeux is an underground canal that diverts the Saône between two of its meanders near Savoyeux, in Haute-Saône, in France. It was completed in 1843 and made it possible to sail the small Saône to the Saône. It is 642.5 meters long and 6.55 meters wide. It has no path for pulling the boats, so the skippers had to pull the boats with chains attached to the walls of the tunnel. It also has a lock at the end of the tunnel

The Salon borders Autet and once turned the paddle wheels of the village's two mills. Near the old stone bridge, benches and tables have been installed for a rural break. If you feel like swimming, Autet has a beach equipped and supervised on the Saône: follow the Route de la Plage to the south exit of the village.
