Tarcenay:

Much more than a big village that one crosses before plunging into the valley of the Loue, Tarcenay imposes itself as the Door of the Country of Ornans.

Almost exclusively agricultural, there is still little, Tarcenay has an active artisanal zone and has largely completed its range of shops.

Foucherans:

Foucherans has a 19th century church which is one of the few to have single-piece columns and a chapel Saint-Maximin, recently renovated. The village and an association have built a cottage step ready to welcome visitors in love with calm and greenery.

Things to see and do

Tarcenay:

The village is also worthy for its differences: old wood, chalk, nails, rubies; as many small hamlets that have forged a history and a soul over time.

Of the 1,309 hectares of forests, pastures, ponds, fields, about 970 inhabitants constitute a small community in full growth, under the benevolent gaze of the Virgin who observes it, quiet, of the top of the hill of Charmont.

Foucherans:

On the way to the chapel, take the time to discover the arboretum with 40 different species of trees, a fougeraie, visit the Rural Museum and stroll in the Bremen Valley to discover the Black Well Ravine.
