Vulliafans with around 700 inhabitants in the Doubs department in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region - a magical place with the Pont Vieux - this bridge with its 3 arches was built in the 17th century. Further into the town center there are numerous town and farm houses that were built in the characteristic style of Franche-Comté in the 16th to 18th centuries. One of the oldest houses is the former manor house La Forteresse from the 14th/15th century. The really beautiful thing is the authentic flair.

The church was built in the 15th century and enlarged and supplemented in the 16th century with gifts from Cardinal Granvelle (the bell tower and the spire in local tuff). Pay special attention to the woodwork (altarpiece, choir stalls, confessional, pulpit and the wooden statues (13th and 14th centuries).

The river runs through Mouthier-Bas with an old bridge, Mouthier-Haut is situated on the hill and consists of a church surrounded by a few old houses. At the end of April, beginning of May there are the beautiful cherry blossoms and the delicious kirsch.

The Priory of Mouthier-Haute-Pierre is a Benedictine priory located in Mouthier-Haute-Pierre. The exact date of its foundation is not known, but it is said to have been established by Saint Eustace, abbot of the Abbey of Luxeuil, around 618. Mentioned as early as 870, it was one of the most important in Burgundy at that time. In 1120, the priory was attached to the Abbey of Cluny. The remains of the church, the cloister and the buildings of the religious and prior's quarters have been listed as historical monuments since 1996.

The arch of the old bridge over the Loue is a historical vestige located in Vuillafans. This arch was perhaps built in the 14th century. During the construction of the N 67, several arches were covered. The bridge collapsed in 1916, but one arch was preserved as a souvenir. The site, including the Loue waterfalls, the arch of the old bridge and their surroundings, was listed as a historical monument on 4 January 1943.

This village is situated on the Loue, which has many waterfalls here. At high tide they provide a spectacle.
