Recologne Plague Cemetery In the 17th century, several plague epidemics struck the region. To protect the inhabitants, the victims were buried away from the village, in this isolated cemetery. This discreet place, without visible graves, is a reminder of the measures taken in the past to limit contagion and the vulnerability of rural communities to major epidemics. Please respect this memorial site. Made with Copilot

A charming town in Franche-Comté, part of the Holy Roman Empire until the Treaty of 1678. Very prosperous in the Middle Ages, thanks to its trade and artisans. A cloth market was established there as early as the 14th century, after Joan of Burgundy, Countess of Franche-Comté and Queen of King Philip V the Long of France, brought weavers from Paris. From June 14, 1354, until the Revolution, the bourgeoisie of Marnay had a charter of emancipation that guaranteed them security and prosperity: "Whoever has a house and keeps a fire in the town will be a bourgeois." This charter allowed the inhabitants to administer the town themselves and thus build ramparts and create the individual gardens that can still be seen today.

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.
