DOLE, capital of the former County, today a City of Art and History, benefits from an exceptional heritage with a Remarkable Heritage Site spanning 114 hectares. As part of a global approach to revitalize the Heart of the City (housing, roads, public spaces, shops, etc.) this square has been the subject of development to strengthen the heritage image of the Doloise city.
The demolition of a wooden construction used as a bar (the Bar Jurassien) made it possible to open up the view of the Hôtel Terrier de Santans and in particular its characteristic staircases from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, classified as Historic Monuments.
A large blind gable of the building next to this new public space provided an ideal support to honor the women and men who have marked the history of DOLE over the past ten centuries by creating a trompe-l fresco. the eye which depicts them on characteristic elements of Dole architecture. The shop on the ground floor also allows you to showcase the centuries-old know-how of the city (Bleu de Dole, cheese factories, foundries, etc.).
This fresco created by Haut les Murs, muralist painters, was inaugurated by Jean-Baptiste GAGNOUX, Mayor of Dole and Jean-Marie SERMIER, MP for Jura, on September 23, 2017.
