マチエール-アン-ブレスのおすすめツーリングルート

The Collegiate Church of Notre-Dame in Dole is a Gothic and Renaissance gem. It dominates the old town with its majestic bell tower, remarkable stained glass windows, and rich historical and religious heritage.

This is an essential stop on the EuroVelo 6 (Nantes-Budapest). A magnificent town in the Jura region, well worth a day trip.

Whenever I am in France, I am fascinated by the churches there.

Beautiful view of the charming town of Dole from the canal. You can see the Cordeliers convent and the Notre-Dame collegiate church.

Here is the information about the ecomuseum: https://www.bressenordintercom.fr/territoire-et-tourisme/ecomusee-de-la-bresse-bourguignonne/

Unfortunately, the interior is not so well preserved or has been heavily used by exhibitions. It seems a bit cluttered. The exhibitions about the region are interesting, though. Two submachine guns have also been preserved, which England dropped in large numbers from the air for the benefit of the Resistance during WWII.

The castle is very impressive, with double moat, garden and great layout. Worth a detour!!

Great French town with an interesting connection to Emperor Frederick Barbarossa.
