La Roche Guillaume is a historic and natural site in the Doubs natural park. This is the site of an ancient medieval fortress of the Templars, who acquired it in the 12th century after a conflict between the Armenians and the principality of Antioch. The fortress was built on a rocky peak which overlooked the Doubs and the road to Antioch. It included a chapel, a tower and a wall matching the shape of the rock. Today you can hike to the La Roche Guillaume viewpoint and enjoy the panoramic view of the river and surrounding hills and forests.
