It's a simple and small church, but very well-maintained.

If you would like to visit the saltworks and the exhibitions in addition to the walk, you should plan at least 90 minutes.

A ship tunnel (1810) that can be walked through from the side as a shortcut for the Le Doubs river canal. On the other side of the canal there is a lock about 3-4 m high. There is a water curtain at both portals and the interior is beautifully and decoratively lit. Worth seeing.

Iconic 17th century chapel built following a vow made by the population to thank the Virgin Mary for protecting the inhabitants from epidemics and during the Thirty Years' War. It has an oval plan and is surmounted by a recently renovated dome with glazed roof tiles, a lantern tower and a bell tower. https://www.coeurdujura-tourisme.com/
