Nestled at the heart of a large valley flanked by the Doubs' first meanderings, Mouthe invites you on a stroll to discover its treasures and its history. From the town hall, this circuit leads you step-by-step from the village's origins to its life today, with stops at the source of the Doubs and the Moutat peat bog, two of this area's jewels. A fold-out, available at the Tourist Office, provides details of the trail, punctuated by ten interpretive signs: Slice of history From Saint Simon to today The juvenile Doubs The two clowns of the source The Doubs' mysterious source At its centre runs a river … Here once stood a mill An ice girl A cold that rhymes with pleasure Life in the village

Departing from Mouthe, the village serving as the Transjurassienne arrival point (the famous cross-country ski race), this is an easy walk, complemented by many interpretive signs allowing hikers to discover the Doubs' source, its valley and its peat bogs.

The adapted trail provides a 300-meter circuit to access a belvedere via a few steps before heading back down and will help you learn about the Doubs and its secrets. Once back near the bridge over the Doubs, a small well-adapted path (white and red waymarking) heads along the river towards Mouthe via "Chemin de la Source".

Between France and Switzerland, an easy walk through a landscape of combes. In the summer, the animals' cowbells ring out around the chalets, former stopovers where smugglers once operated. From the parking lot in the CHEZ LIADET hamlet, this walk starts (yellow and blue waymarking) slow through a road that winds through the combe, heading past the Plaine Chez Liadet and continuing until the intersection at les Bâties. The trail then branches off to the left on a wide gravel road before coming to la Bâtie-Dessus. Going past the chalet, the trail continues for 500 m before turning left and entering a forest that soon leads to a large clearing. The trail leaves the main path, taking a grassy path to the left, in the middle of a wooded meadow, towards Chez Bougaud. To the left of the house, at the trail's highest point (1155m), a gravel road heads downhill to the bottom of a combe bordered by closed pastures. In the dip, at the intersection of several paths, the circuit heads left and reaches the Chez Greset mountain chalet. In front of the chalet, to the left, after 500 m a good path will lead you to the intersection at Chez Mimi. The path continues to the left for a few meters, before heading downwards to the right on a wide path through the forest leading to Plaine Chez Liadet, and your starting point.

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.

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.

The route heads upwards towards Chatelblanc and quickly reaches (100 m) La Combette de la Roche. A grassy trail crosses through a pasture (MTB path) before exiting onto the Grand Réservoir. The panoramic view from Roche Blanche is then accessible within 5 mins (there and back). Be careful! When you have returned from the viewpoint, the good farm road that pleasantly overlooks the combe to the east joins up with "Chemin de la Roche" after a sharp bend to the left. 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.

Built in 1771 based on the design of the knight d’Arçon, to replace the entrance across the ramparts, the Saint-Pierre entrance is now one of the symbols of Pontarlier. Remodelled during the 12th century, it has kept its classical style and is listed on the Supplementary Inventory of Historical Monuments. Adorned with lines reminiscent of the Arc de Triomphe, the entrance appears like a crown atop the rue de la République and marks a symbolic transition from the more contemporary districts and the historic centre. (PNRHJ - Un tour en ville, “A tour of the town”)

During the early 20th century, the theatre was built as a reception hall above the Pontarlier market-hall. These market-halls are reminiscent of the large fairs that have been held in the city since the 13th century. During the 14th century, these fairs experienced a boom when the Col de Jougne (15 km south) became a commercial crossing point between the North Sea and the Mediterranean. (PNRHJ - Un tour en ville, “A tour of the town”)

The congregation of Les Annonciades Célestes de Pontarlier was established in 1609 by six young women from Pontarlier. The monastery’s baroque-style door, created by the sculptor Joseph Guyon, can still be admired. Its portal, which has been classed a historical monument, was completed in 1715 based on the plans set out by Nicolas Callier, an architect and entrepreneur from Besançon, and was later modified during the 19th century. (PNRHJ - Un tour en ville, “A tour of the town”)

At the heart of the historic centre is the vast expanse offered by the Place d’Arçon where the town hall and the Pontarlier museum are both located. The first was completed in 1838 and originally housed an indoor market on the ground floor. The museum is located in one of the city’s oldest buildings, a combination of three houses, the oldest of which dates back to the 15th century. (PNRHJ - Un tour en ville, “A tour of the town”)

These barracks, which were built with some of the money allocated by Louis XV to reconstruct Pontarlier after the fire in 1736, could house up to 200 men and just as many horses. The two L-shaped buildings were linked by a huge door, however, the municipality refused to close the square on the other side. This place was therefore split between a place of armament and a public place. In 1922, the door was removed, to allow for better circulation. (PNRHJ - Un tour en ville, “A tour of the town”)

A former coach house, to which it owes its name, the La Poste brewery received the 20th Century Heritage label for its Art-Deco style. It is also famous for having been the place where “Septième Juré” starring Bernard Blier and “Les Granges Brûlées” starring Simone Signoret and Alain Delon were both filmed. (PNRH - Un tour en ville, “A tour of the town”)

The history of Pontarlier is built around its advantageous geographical location: a crossroads during the Middle Ages between the North Sea and the Mediterranean Sea, it benefitted from passing trade but also suffered from military invasions. With many forests and a large amount of iron ore, this town was built on farming and craftmanship. Its border location enabled a constant flow of goods, people, know-how and capital. The opening of absinthe distilleries, sometimes in collaboration with Switzerland, generated a period of great prosperity in terms of the town’s development and cultural identity. (PNRHJ - Un tour en ville, “A tour of the town”)

Philippe Grenier, a native of Pontarlier, lived from 1865 to 1944. He is remembered by locals for having been a doctor to the poor, but also for having been the first Muslim member of the French Parliament, elected to the Chamber of Deputies in 1896. Philippe Grenier was therefore a Muslim in a Catholic country, promoting a lifestyle without the consumption of alcohol in the land of absinthe, and yet respected for his integrity and devotion to the most disadvantaged. (PNRHJ - Un tour en ville, “A tour of the town”)

In 1901, the Pernod factory - the largest absinthe distillery in the town - fell victim to a fire. With the alcohol reserves representing a risk of explosion, an employee decided to empty the reservoirs into the Doubs. Legend would have it that the merry inhabitants would drink the water straight from the river. However, these events led to a hydrological discovery: the first colouration in history. We discovered that the Loue was a resurgence of the Doubs, as it waters had taken on the same murky colour and aniseed smell.

The train station was created following the opening of the Franco-Swiss line, which was a major asset for development in a region in which the road network was not yet fully operational. As a result, there was a bitter fight between Dole and Besançon for the railhead. Ultimately, this fight was won by the Jura and in 1860, the first stretch between Neuchâtel and Pontarlier was inaugurated. (PNRHJ - Un tour en ville, “A tour of the town”)
