Incredible remains of an old mine

Picturesque town with Château de Couches, Marguerite de Bourgogne, hiking and mountain bike trails, wash house circuit, tennis and numerous events...

The fact that they are attributed to the Middle Neolithic does not in any way rule out a presence that could go back to the Bronze Age. With a length of 7.30 m and a weight of around 30 tons, the large menhir is the most impressive in the whole of eastern France.

A set of seven menhirs that are about 5,000 years old and were erected by the Neolithic civilization. Later, the Gauls dedicated this place to Epogne, the goddess of horsemen. The highest is 7.35 meters.

As you drive past, you wonder what it used to be and are then amazed at the history of the building. Very interesting...

The Hottinguer wells and their Malakoff-type tower made it possible to extract coal at a depth of 618 meters. They are among the deepest wells in France. The traction system, an atmospheric tube, required high surface installations, hence the tower. In 1910, the addition of a power station supplied villages with electricity as far as Autiun and the Côte de Beaune.

Shady path directly to the castle!
