Just at the top of the flight of stairs, you can discover the tradition of the 'president fir', typical of Doubs since the 19th century. Each forest sees its most remarkable fir or spruce officially elected “President” during a ceremony to which foresters, local elected officials and the general public are invited. If this tree were to die, a new tree will then be elected.

Former priory of Cluny, Mièges remains an essential place on the paths of Via Cluny. Its hermitage welcomes pilgrims who come to honor Our Lady of Montaigu. Its church has been rebuilt several times. It has a remarkable porch whose sculptures combine elements from the decorative repertoire of flamboyant Gothic and Renaissance motifs.

This city in the Middle Ages was a highly strategic place. For more than 300 years, from the 13th to the 16th century, its inhabitants controlled the commercial exploitation of salt by establishing rights of passage for merchants who went to Switzerland. So you will find in its center many beautiful period houses, irrefutable testimonies of this ancient wealth. The castle of the princes of Oranges was destroyed, and did not stand the test of time.

At the beginning, Mignovillard and its annexes depended, from the religious point of view, on the church of Mièges. The priors and monks sent by the abbot of Saint-Claude or Cluny practiced with all the population that crowded into these mountains. However, every Sunday we had to face the distance that separates Mignovillard from the church of Mièges.

The Saint-André church was renovated in 2019. It is located near the cemetery. Its impressive bell tower offers a unique perspective.

The Seigne des Barbouillons regional nature reserve has been listed since 2014. It covers an area of 34.6 hectares and protects a raised peat bog as well as its peripheral wetlands.
