Look and linger, simply fantastic

The Church of the Nativity of Our Lady in Fondremand dates from the 15th and 16th centuries and combines Gothic style with Renaissance elements. It is distinguished by its massive bell tower-porch, its ribbed vaults, and its antique furnishings.

In Frondremand, the source of the Romaine River springs at the foot of the village and feeds a covered washhouse dating from the 19th century. Built of stone, this washhouse is a well-preserved example of rural utilitarian architecture. The site, bordered by greenery, marks the beginning of the Romaine River, which flows through the Haute-Saône.

The Pelouses Trail, near Bucey-lès-Gy, crosses a landscape of limestone grasslands typical of the region. This open environment is home to rare and protected flora, including several wild orchids.

Village which dates back to Gaulle (Gallic burials have been unearthed there) and of which we also find traces under the Gallo-Roman Empire. There we find the source of the Colombine and some beautiful buildings, including the cemetery chapel (listed as a Historic Monument) and the Notre-Dame de Leffond Chapel which dates from the 13th century. However, the village is best known for its vineyards. In the Middle Ages, the wines of Gy and Charcenne were already exported and we found them on the tables of nobles in the 16th century. The Guillaume family has been cultivating vines there since 1732 and has developed a highly specialized nursery business since 1895, recognized worldwide. The 43 hectares of vines therefore produce wine, awarded several times, but also serve as a support for the multiplication of vine plants. They therefore cultivate other grape varieties than those necessary for their production. And if you want to accompany your wine with a cheese, head to the Millet cheese dairy to taste a Charcennais or an Ortolan.

10th century chapel with a slate roof (redone in 2014). It was originally a more important building but since the 19th century, only the choir remains.

Village rich in beautiful built heritage in addition to benefiting from the proximity of Ognon. In the center, you will find the washhouse-fountain-watering trough which was restored in the 90s as well as the Saint-Germain church whose choir still dates from the 12th century.

The Oiselay family had owned a fortified castle here since the 11th century. Following its destruction, this imposing U-shaped castle was rebuilt. The round tower dates from the 15th century and the courtyard façade from 1570. New work then took place on the building during the first half of the 19th century. Following a marriage linking the Oiselay family to the Granvelle family, we find icons recalling this illustrious family which notably included the Keeper of the Seals of Charles V, a cardinal and an ambassador. Currently private property, unfortunately it cannot be visited.
