Geography
The commune lies 8 km (5.0 mi) northwest of Besançon. Fortifications were built on the surrounding heights by Jean de Chalon, Count of Burgundy in the 10th century. The only remains are the Porte d'Orange, a gate carved from the rock, and the Baraque des Enragés, a subterranean entrance to the fort.
Economy
Until 1920, wines such as Pulsard, Pinot, and Gamay were made in the commune, but very few small vineyards remain.
