Château de Cléron

This fortified house was built in 1320 by Humbert de Cléron, a vassal of the Count of Burgundy, to protect the ford over the Loue on the main Franche-Comté salt road.
Remodeled and enlarged in the 15th and 18th centuries, the castle still retains its medieval defences.
Visit of the garden, (paying 3€ and not guided, free - 14 years old): from July 1st to August 31st, from 2pm to 6pm, except on Mondays.
To be seen in Cléron: the former 14th century castle chapel, enlarged in the 18th century to become the Saint-Siméon church; the former 17th century presbytery with its lava stone roof.
