House where Louis Pergaud was born on January 22, 1882, author of 'La Guerre des Boutons' and winner of the 1910 Goncourt prize with his collection of short stories entitled 'From Goupil to Margot'. He drew heavily on his childhood memories in Doubs to write.

Ornans is very attractive with its houses reflected in the Loue, its elegant limestone cliffs surrounding it, its magnificent church with its imposing Comtois bell tower, the squares and shops of its main avenue, as well as its beautiful forests. Ornans is also the city of Gustave Courbet. The famous painter who was politically involved in the government of the commune and then had to go into exile in Switzerland because he was accused of having been the instigator of the fall of the column on Place Vendôme in Paris. You will learn everything about this native of Ornans by visiting the museum entirely dedicated to him in the city center.
