The Ognon crossing at Pont-sur-l'Ognon offers a scenic and serene experience for cycle tourists. As you cycle, take time to enjoy the tranquil atmosphere, with the sound of the river flowing below and the birds singing in the trees.

Great hotel, especially for festive occasions. Occasionally visits possible for an admission fee.

One of the many mountains that dot the surrounding area and offer a little relief on this plateau, to the eye but also under the wheels. Mount Gédry peaks at an altitude of 415 meters.

Considered by some to be one of the most beautiful castles of the 19th century, it was built in a neo-Louis XIII style between 1882 and 1887 on the ruins of an old castle destroyed during the Battle of Villersexel in 1871. Its furniture dates also from this period. Now private, it can be visited between April and October. It also serves as a reception venue for weddings or events.

A sturdy bridge over the Ognon River where you can meet up with a group of other cyclists. The Ognon is a left tributary of the Saône and therefore a sub-tributary of the Rhône. The Ognon crosses ninety-eight communes. In Villersexel you can find many activities linked to this river: leisure center, canoeing, reception lodge...
