What to visit?
Did you know?
Since 2018, the village of Allenjoie has seen a few storks pass through, and we have noticed attempts to build nests...
In 2019, a collaboration between the municipality, the League for the Protection of Birds and the ENEDIS company resulted in the installation of a mast surmounted by a basket intended to facilitate the construction of a nest.
It was in the spring of 2020 that the first installation of a couple took place, followed by brooding and the birth of 2 storks which developed before taking flight. This phenomenon has been repeated every year since.
Note: Allenjoie is the only town in the Doubs to host a pair of storks that nest and provide offspring. Undoubtedly the renowned quality of welcome of this village!
The nest is located in the heart of the village, near the playground, rue de l'Ecluse. The favorable period for observation is from March to July, approximately.
The Gustave Courbet Museum
In Ornans, over more than 2000 m²divided into 22 rooms, the museum was completely renovated and enlarged in 2011. Beneath the glass slabs flows the Loue and the temporary exhibitions that enliven the place mirror the works of artists around the themes dear to the child of the Country.

The castle of Joux
Installed on a rocky promontory from the Middle Ages, the Castle of Joux was fortified by the Sires of Joux in the 12th century. The twists and turns of history have made it a military fortressire, edited by Vauban in the 17th century then by General Séré de Rivières in the 19th century.
