Lods: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

Culture

Lods is home to the parish church of Saint-Théodule. It was built between 1733 and 1736 according to plans by the architect Jean-Pierre Galezot from Besançon. The church also houses an altarpiece made by Fauconnet, as well as paintings by Etienne Charton d’Autun.

The Musée de la vigne et du vin is located in an authentic 17th-century winegrower’s house. It displays tools and everyday objects documenting the lives of the winegrowers in the valley.

When planning a stay in Lods, you may wish to rent a holiday apartment.
