Culture and History
The Church of Saint John the Baptist in Derrière-le-Mont was built in 1765, and the Rosary Church in Les Fontenottes in 1691. The Sainte-Anne Chapel in Les Cernoniers in Montlebon was built in 1877. In Sur-la-Seigne, the Church of Saint Michael forms the end of the Minims' monastery.
Archaeological remains in Montlebon provide evidence of settlement since antiquity. These include paths marked by wheel ruts that lead towards the village of La Brévine, located in neighbouring Switzerland.
Trails and Winter
The Derrière le Mont route passes the Sainte-Anne Chapel and goes around the Reculée of Derrière le Mont, a geological feature of the Jura Massif. The Grotte de la Grande Cave served as a refuge during the Swedish invasion in 1634.
Access to the Grotte de la Grande Cave is exposed and secured with ropes; it is not recommended for people who are afraid of heights. Cross-country skiing is possible at Gardot, while downhill skiing is possible at Meix Musy.
