The site of Oiselay-et-Grachaux, the "bird hill", has been inhabited since prehistoric times, as evidenced by the discovery of a Neolithic station. In ancient times, Oiselay was located on the Roman road linking Besançon to Langres. Until the eighteenth century, the Lord of Oiselay ruled the area. Stephen II of Oiselay, head of the younger branch of the House of Burgundy, had a fortified castle built in 1227 AD. * Fontaine-lavoir (xixe siècle) : basin ; borne fontaine ; stone of the waist ; columns. * Chapelle du cimetière recouverte de lierre. * Numbers of old houses and farms. * Croix de chemin du 19th century. * Mairie-school, du 19th century. * Ruins du château-fort were renovated during the twentieth century, dating from the seventh century during the armies of Louis XI and dismantled during Louis

Village which dates back to Gaulle (Gallic burials have been unearthed there) and of which we also find traces under the Gallo-Roman Empire. There we find the source of the Colombine and some beautiful buildings, including the cemetery chapel (listed as a Historic Monument) and the Notre-Dame de Leffond Chapel which dates from the 13th century. However, the village is best known for its vineyards. In the Middle Ages, the wines of Gy and Charcenne were already exported and we found them on the tables of nobles in the 16th century. The Guillaume family has been cultivating vines there since 1732 and has developed a highly specialized nursery business since 1895, recognized worldwide. The 43 hectares of vines therefore produce wine, awarded several times, but also serve as a support for the multiplication of vine plants. They therefore cultivate other grape varieties than those necessary for their production. And if you want to accompany your wine with a cheese, head to the Millet cheese dairy to taste a Charcennais or an Ortolan.
