Nature
The remains of a feudal castle destroyed in 1354 lie on the Montagne de la Roche. Visitors can observe numerous species of birds of prey there. The Montagne de la Roche also includes three prehistoric sites of national renown: a Neanderthal and Cro-Magnon site associated with a palaeontological discovery site, a Magdalenian cave site, and one of the largest Neolithic settlements in eastern France. The “Le tour de la montagne de la Roche” hiking trail leads to the summit of the hill and offers a panorama of the surrounding area.
Those who choose La Roche-Morey as a travel destination and wish to rent a holiday apartment focus their accommodation choice on the town.
