Parc du Doubs - Leave the wild nature behind you and slowly come back to the real world before reaching the medieval town of St-Ursanne. There, the Doubs makes a sharp turn; perhaps this is where it gets ist name from - dubitus meaning the hesitant in Latin.
The aspiring explorers can enjoy a treasure hunt on the Doubs in a canoe or a kayak. A fun family activity: www.maisondutourisme.ch
Every other year in July (every odd year), St-Ursanne hosts the "Fête des Médiévales", a medevial fair.

The hermitage chapel in the rock face is reached through a late Renaissance style door and 200 steps. Next to it is the grotto in which St Ursicinus is supposed to have lived, and a viewpoint with a wonderful view of the Doubs.
Trois magnifiques portes encerclent les enceintes de la cité médiévale. La porte Saint-Paul(XIIIè), la porte Saint-Pierre (XVIè) et la porte St-Jean (XVIè).
