Explore Chapelle-des-bois, Doubs: Jewel of Franche-Comté

On the outskirts of the village, the hike starts with the discovery of a strikingly colourful environment. This is a peat bog with an interesting history. From the hike starting point in CHAPELLE-DES-BOIS (Saint Jean-Baptiste church), the trail follows the D 46 towards the town hall (white and red waymarking) At “Chemin des Sources”, follow a road to the left that gradually heads downhill towards the bottom of the combe, bordered by hay fields. At the lowest point of the combe, the road crosses a stream, where a cross has been erected. Continue on this road until you come to Bas du Risoux. Leave the road and take the grassy path to your left (yellow waymarking) that slightly overlooks the peat bog’s east border. The path gradually ascends to the hamlet Chez Michel. The hike trail then heads to the right of the buildings, crosses the parking lot and enters the field, following along the low wall until it comes to the woods.

Taking the road to your right (red and white waymarking), head past the houses in LES LANDRYS and return to the village.

From the viewpoints on Roche Champion and Roche Bernard, the striking Nordic nature of the High Jura's lakes, peat bogs and mountain forests grabs hikers' attention. From the village's small central square, at the hike's starting point, the trail follows the D 46 towards the town hall (white and red waymarking). At "chemin des Sources", a road to the left crosses the combe, borders a peat bog and ascends to La Madone. The path skews off to the left crossing a wooded meadow. At the Reservoir, the trail ascends to the right through a pasture and leads to LA ROCHE CHAMPION. Occasionally rocky, this path continues between the rocky barrier and the swiss border, heads past the Git de l’Echelle and on a wider path, leads to Sur-le-Risoux-des-Lacs, and, turning right, to the Rocky Crossroads.

The road heads downwards in a wide bend at the Chaux Mourant crossroads, from here you can return to the village of Bellefontaine the same way you came.

South of the Mouthe valley, a succession of forests and pastures, punctuated by two belvederes: a recent one at the Côte Feuillée to learn about ski jumping and its history, and the Roche Blanche in Chatelblanc. Starting at Cébriot (stream) facing the town hall, the trail heads up the village (white and red waymarking) to LERNIER, before (yellow and blue waymarking) following the D 46 and reaching l’Estanguillon. The path heads up to the right through a valley with a small stream before exiting onto Sur la Chenoz where the first house's dam is proof of the existence of a former mill. The path then turns abruptly to the right, to access the COTE FEUILLEE. The trail continues on a path that descends into a forest to the left (pay attention to the waymarking) until it reaches the Place à bois des Serments. The path to the right, which is suitable for vehicles (white and red waymarking) passes through a combe to les Serments, and then (yellow and blue waymarking) comes to Bois des Ravières.

A barely-signposted trail to the right in the combe (MTB path) cuts through the meadows, joins up with a path and opens out into the heart of Chaux-Neuve, behind the old cheese dairy.

Departing from Morbier - the village having given its name to the famous black-streaked cheese and to grandfather clocks - this diverse circuit will lead you to the foot of the Trois Commères, and, at its peak, to the "balcon des Crottes" with a plunging view over the Morez viaducts.

A walk along the ridges offers an unexpected view over the municipalities of the Lac des Rouges Truites and Fort du Plasne, their lakes and their peat bogs. The itinerary heads up the village (yellow waymarking) via the Main road, passes the Round Fountain, and comes to the last house. The white, well-paved path to the right heads towards the Fort-du-Plasne lake (its water level quickly varies depending on rainfall), bordered by peat bogs, and soon reaches Les Voigneurs. You will follow the road to the left, and then a steep path until you reach the rigdge, at the La Corne signpost. In the pasture, head down to your right, pass a fence and follow a white path.

100 to 200 million years ago, we would have travelled here by boat, on a tropical sea. Then limestone particles and shells slowly started to gather on the waterbed, gradually forming limestone layers. During the Tertiary Period, these layers started to lift, fold and soon gave birth to the Jura Massif, with its relief comprised of folds and plateaux.

Works to build the church started in 1634. The massive appearance of this structure is amplified by the narrowness of its openings. It is covered with a metal shingle on its most-exposed outer walls. The church has been registered on the complementary inventory of Historical Monuments since 2 March 1981.

Opposite you, the Roche Champion cliff marks the edge of the Risoux massif and separates Switzerland from France. Before the 16th century, neither of these two countries wanted to claim the Jura, which was covered in forest. However, as the area was progressively cleared for agricultural purposes, competition for this land stepped up a notch. The Reform later exacerbated this rivalry, creating a political and religious rift between Switzerland and Protestants on one side and Franche-Comté and Catholics on the other. The Catholic cross that can be seen atop Roche Champion asserts this religious belonging.

At the end of the Quaternary Period, the Jura was covered by a huge glacier. Reindeer and mammoths were abundant. This mass of ice changed the relief and broke and moved rocks. When it melted, the ice left glacier moraines in the watertight rocky holes left behind. At the bottom of the depression, a lake later took shape, fed by the water from the melting glacier, from rainfall and from streams. Before long, the climate started to warm up. Aquatic plants quickly developed and organic matter accumulated. The lake filled and turned into a marsh.

The stream you have crossed comes from the Cives combe. It is joined by another stream from the Risoux slopes (the mountain looming over you). After travelling underground, the stream surfaces near Morez, around ten kilometres from here. From there to here, it passes through the peat bog, with the latter acting like a sponge during rainy weather and when snow starts to melt. By doing so, the peat bog limits flooding, and then gradually returns the water during dry periods. Its last function is to purify the water running through it by acting as a filter.

In 1639, the plague wreaked havoc in the region. In Chapelle-des-Bois, it killed roughly fifteen of the 150 village inhabitants. Fearing that they might catch the illness, survivors did not want to bury the dead in the cemetery. Their decision to bury the plague-ridden corpses in the peat bog is no accident. Considered worthless land, and rarely used for agricultural purposes, the peat bog seemed the ideal place to bury victims of the plague without contaminating the land.

Sedges (or carex) grow and help stabilise the soil. Later, sphagnum peat moss takes over and forms a dense carpet. These are species of moss that grow continuously and that provide an accumulation of organic matter on which sphagnum peat moss is able to grow. The vegetation becomes compact and creates the black and fibrous bogs resembling garden compost. However, this phenomenon is painfully slow and it takes thousands of years for a peat bog to reach a height of just a few metres.

Agricultural buildings are scattered throughout this landscape: old farms are found alongside much larger modern agricultural buildings that house Montbeliarde cows. These cows produce the milk that is used to produce local cheeses.

In the hamlet of “les Landry”, you will pass in front of a house that tells of some of the architectural history and construction techniques used in the High-Doubs. Years of “playing around” with wood, stone and metal.

Peat bogs are valuable history books for pollen specialists or palynologists. In fact, pollen is well-preserved in peat bogs, and some pollen found there can even be thousands of years old! From the oldest layers deeper down to the surface area, palynologists are able to retrace the history of plants in the peat bog and its surroundings all the way back to prehistoric times. Which trees used to grow in the forest? Which plants did man grow for food or for clothes? By analysing pollen, we can learn all of these things.
