The best MTB trails around Lantenne-Vertière

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.

very short, quite technical, and very fun to do!!!

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.

Characterful Comtoise town which was part of the Holy Roman Empire until the treaty of 1678. Very prosperous in the Middle Ages, due to its trade and its artisans. There has been a cloth hall there since the 14th century, after Jeanne de Bourgogne, countess of Franche-Comté and queen of King Philippe V the Long of France, brought weavers from Paris there. From June 14, 1354 and until the Revolution, the bourgeoisie of Marnay had a charter of emancipation which ensured them security and abundance - "anyone who has a house and keeps fire in the village will be bourgeois". This charter allowed residents to administer the city themselves and thus build ramparts and set up the individual gardens that can still be found there today.

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)
