Saint-Ursanne

Saint Ursanne is a historic small town situated between two Jura chains in the wooded, narrow valley of the Doubs. Saint-Ursanne is reached via the Saint-Jean Népomucène bridge. Its medieval townscape is characterized by burgher houses from the 14th to the 16th century. Also three old city gates are still the entrances to the city. Also worth seeing are the old collegiate church and the early Gothic cloister from the 14th century. North of the city you can see the ruins of a castle, which was first mentioned in the 13th century.

“The city tour was really interesting and informative, and the guide was extremely knowledgeable, approachable, and had a great sense of humour.”

“5 stars for the mountain views, lucky with the weather and to be seated on the revolving part of the restaurant. Most of the cable staff were confused with this app/ticket, only one out of six knew to scan the QR code with a different app, the rest let us through the barrier with a couple of them saying we should have had a paper or different sort of ticket. No extra cost etc. but be warned. Waitress in the restaurant didn't recognise the ticket either so had to check with a manager but all good in the end. Meat and cheese board for 2 people as expected - four different ones of each, a couple of pieces of cheese, four slices of each meat.”
