Marnay Castle, built from the 11th century onwards, was remodeled several times up until the 18th century. Formerly the residence of the lords of Marnay, it still has a medieval tower, Renaissance façades and a large wooded park.

Le Paquey is a former floodplain meadow located on the outskirts of Marnay, on the banks of the Ognon River. This natural area is home to remarkable biodiversity, including wetlands, ancient hedgerows, and pastures. Designed for walking, it offers a glimpse of the valley's typical agricultural and river landscapes.

A charming town in Franche-Comté, part of the Holy Roman Empire until the Treaty of 1678. Very prosperous in the Middle Ages, thanks to its trade and artisans. A cloth market was established there as early as the 14th century, after Joan of Burgundy, Countess of Franche-Comté and Queen of King Philip V the Long of France, brought weavers from Paris. From June 14, 1354, until the Revolution, the bourgeoisie of Marnay had a charter of emancipation that guaranteed them security and prosperity: "Whoever has a house and keeps a fire in the town will be a bourgeois." This charter allowed the inhabitants to administer the town themselves and thus build ramparts and create the individual gardens that can still be seen today.

Characterful Comtoise town which was part of the Holy Roman Empire until the treaty of 1678. Very prosperous in the Middle Ages, due to its trade and its artisans. There has been a cloth hall there since the 14th century, after Jeanne de Bourgogne, countess of Franche-Comté and queen of King Philippe V the Long of France, brought weavers from Paris there. From June 14, 1354 and until the Revolution, the bourgeoisie of Marnay had a charter of emancipation which ensured them security and abundance - "anyone who has a house and keeps fire in the village will be bourgeois". This charter allowed residents to administer the city themselves and thus build ramparts and set up the individual gardens that can still be found there today.

Village which dates back to Gaulle (Gallic burials have been unearthed there) and of which we also find traces under the Gallo-Roman Empire. There we find the source of the Colombine and some beautiful buildings, including the cemetery chapel (listed as a Historic Monument) and the Notre-Dame de Leffond Chapel which dates from the 13th century. However, the village is best known for its vineyards. In the Middle Ages, the wines of Gy and Charcenne were already exported and we found them on the tables of nobles in the 16th century. The Guillaume family has been cultivating vines there since 1732 and has developed a highly specialized nursery business since 1895, recognized worldwide. The 43 hectares of vines therefore produce wine, awarded several times, but also serve as a support for the multiplication of vine plants. They therefore cultivate other grape varieties than those necessary for their production. And if you want to accompany your wine with a cheese, head to the Millet cheese dairy to taste a Charcennais or an Ortolan.
