Highly recommended small campsite run by a friendly woman who offers access to her idyllic garden. Ideal for hikers and cyclists. No RVs allowed! Well-maintained restroom facilities. Vacation apartments are also available, but are usually full.

Driving along the Doub is wonderfully relaxing - just don't forget to take something to eat with you! A gastronomic service desert!

Right at the entrance to the town: The factory has been falling into disrepair for years - no one was working here in 2019. But there is a good restaurant here in the town! : straight on to the roundabout, turn at the roundabout at 11:00, then about 50 meters - on the left - “Laissey-vous tenter” - very nice and good!
