    The Priory of Mouthier-Haute-Pierre is a Benedictine priory located in Mouthier-Haute-Pierre.
    The exact date of its foundation is not known, but it is said to have been established by Saint Eustace, abbot of the Abbey of Luxeuil, around 618. Mentioned as early as 870, it was one of the most important in Burgundy at that time.
    In 1120, the priory was attached to the Abbey of Cluny.
    The remains of the church, the cloister and the buildings of the religious and prior's quarters have been listed as historical monuments since 1996.

    Mouthier is situated in the middle of a kind of rocky amphitheatre and is, together with Ornans, the most interesting place in the Loue valley. The river runs through Mouthier-Bas with an old bridge, Mouthier-Haut is situated on the hill and consists of a church surrounded by a few old houses. At the end of April, beginning of May there are the beautiful cherry blossoms and the delicious kirsch.
