Gizia is the name of the village, but also that of the river and the whole valley (which we call "remote" here).
And it is above all a concentrate of Jura!
Here, the peregrine falcon rubs shoulders with the eagle owl, and the lynx watches for the chamois. The orchids are numerous but the saxifrage of Gizia (because it is only found here!) is rarer and more discreet, just like the trout of the river. Classified in the 1st category, it has shaped the many hamlets of the village, around the mills, fountains and washhouses. The two churches are a particularity of the village.
Gizia is located in the slopes of Revermont, which have a singular identity well illustrated by the name given here to the territory: "Le Bon Pays".
From the belvederes, by crisscrossing the hiking trails (on foot, by mountain bike or on horseback), or by traversing the small quiet roads, one discovers the diversified landscapes made up of meadows, forests and vineyards. Here, the Comtois sheep and horses keep company with the Montbéliard cows which produce the milk in Comté. The vines, scattered on the most favorable soils of the hillsides, allow passionate winegrowers (and often "organic") to produce extraordinary wines, with growing notoriety, mixing tradition and modernity. The castles dominate the villages and towns (Saint-Amour and Cuiseaux in particular), which history has endowed with an interesting heritage (ramparts, convent, royal prison, apothecary...).
