If you are looking for a historic and picturesque hike in the Doubs, you can visit the Sainte-Radegonde de Loray chapel. This chapel was built in 1541 and was a place of pilgrimage for people with walking difficulties. It is said that Sainte-Radegonde, former queen of the Franks, fought and defeated a ghoul there. The chapel is located near the Roche Barchey, a rock formation with a deep pit that was believed to be a gate to hell. You can enjoy the panoramic view from the Roche Barchey belvedere and see the traces of an ancient castle nearby.
