Arbois

Arbois is found north-east of Poligny in the Franche-Comte region of France, near Salins-les-Bains.

On the banks of the River Cuisance, Arbois is a pleasant town set among the vines and forests that are typical of the region.

Well meriting an explore, the town has some very pretty streets lined with ancient houses centred around an arcaded central square where you have more than one opportunity to sample the local wine.

There are also two old mills to discover when you visit Arbois, and a chateau that once belonged to the Dukes of Burgundy - Chateau Pécauld - which now has a small museum dedicated to wine growing and production.

Louis Pasteur had his laboratory in the town, which has been conserved and now provides an insight into the work of one of the most important scientists in the history of medicine (you can learn about his early life at the museum in his childhood home, at Dole).

There are a couple of particularly attractive scenic highlights near Arbois, including the lovely waterfall at Cascade des Tufs and the belvedere above the town at Cirque de Fer à Cheval.
