Vulliafans with around 700 inhabitants in the Doubs department in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region - a magical place with the Pont Vieux - this bridge with its 3 arches was built in the 17th century. Further into the town center there are numerous town and farm houses that were built in the characteristic style of Franche-Comté in the 16th to 18th centuries. One of the oldest houses is the former manor house La Forteresse from the 14th/15th century. The really beautiful thing is the authentic flair.
