Very beautiful, in the middle of nature

Great bike tour

Rougemont is an ancient fortified village with surviving ramparts, a medieval gate, and an ancient castle. The village also boasts a 13th-century collegiate church, a listed historic monument. Its history is linked to that of the lords of Rougemont, who were influential in the region during the Middle Ages.

Built in 1828 by the architect Louis Moreau and listed as a historic monument in 1977, it is made of pink sandstone from the surplus of the thermal baths of Luxeuil-les-Bains.

The Ognon crossing at Pont-sur-l'Ognon offers a scenic and serene experience for cycle tourists. As you cycle, take time to enjoy the tranquil atmosphere, with the sound of the river flowing below and the birds singing in the trees.

Ollans Castle was built in the 18th century. It is surrounded by a vast garden bordered by the river, and decorated with two statues from the 1740s representing Diana and Apollo. It belonged to Charles Derosne, a beekeeping enthusiast and friend of Sully Prudhomme. It is also in this castle that the writer composed his first collection of poetry, Le Bonheur. The castle cannot be visited these days, but it is a great place to take a photo.

The castle is private property and is only open to the public in the presence of the owners or a member of the association (an appointment can also be made). The rooms are open on Sunday afternoons from mid-April to early October (guided tours at 3:00 p.m., 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. or by appointment) and 4 weeks from July 14 to August 15.
