Climb in 2 stages. Nothing too steep, but it can hurt your legs at the end of the route!

Marnay Castle, built from the 11th century onwards, was remodeled several times up until the 18th century. Formerly the residence of the lords of Marnay, it still has a medieval tower, Renaissance façades and a large wooded park.

Le Paquey is a former floodplain meadow located on the outskirts of Marnay, on the banks of the Ognon River. This natural area is home to remarkable biodiversity, including wetlands, ancient hedgerows, and pastures. Designed for walking, it offers a glimpse of the valley's typical agricultural and river landscapes.

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.
