The grand lavoir-abreuvoir in Geneuille is a historical monument dating from the 19th century. It was built in 1829 and restored in 1876 by the architect Ducat. This lavoir-abreuvoir, located on the rue de l’Abreuvoir, is a covered washhouse with a large abreuvoir running along the facade. It has a large esplanade for easy access. The complex consists of a fountain, a washhouse and a abreuvoir, and is an important vestige of the social life and work of our ancestors. The water enters via a canal and is collected in a large space with a beautiful vaulted structure.

The Aurêtre pond is located north of Besançon in the commune of Geneuille. It presents a pretty bucolic setting when nature is in bloom.

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.

Built in the 16th century, the fortified house is made up of buildings defended by loopholes which form a closed courtyard. This fortified house has now been transformed into a farm. It has retained its keep and its chapel, as well as a mill from the beginning of the 18th century. Very well preserved, it is listed as a Historic Monument.
