The Maison du blé et du pain in Verdun-sur-le-Doubs is connected with the town’s grain history. Founded in 1974, it is the oldest museum in the Écomusée de la Bresse bourguignonne network.

On two floors, the museum presents the history of bread from prehistoric times to the present day. A working bread oven can be used for demonstrations and activities.

Culture and History
The Circuit du patrimoine de Verdun-sur-le-Doubs takes visitors on a tour through the history of Vieux Verdun, explained in an accompanying leaflet. Along the way, preserved fortifications, towers, old buildings and small sections of wall can be seen. The Église St-Jean is considered a sight worth visiting in Verdun-sur-le-Doubs. The Chapelle des Treize was built by 13 families from the town who had survived the Great Plague of 1348.
Nature and Water
The Île du Château is designated as an “espace naturel sensible” (sensitive natural area); its northern part is occupied by floodplain woodland characteristic of the Val de Saône. The Île du Château also has a simple, 1-kilometre circular trail starting and ending in Les Bordes.
The EPTB-Aventures app offers the orienteering course “À la rencontre de la confluence” in Verdun-sur-le-Doubs. The EPTB-Aventures courses combine walks with the discovery of the nature of the Saône and Doubs valleys, using a scenario-based game and real-life challenges. A two-person kayak trip is offered at the harbour master’s office below the slipway in the confluence area of Verdun-sur-le-Doubs.
The History of Pôchouse
The earliest traces of Pôchouse date back to the 16th century. At that time, the boatmen, raftsmen and fishermen known in Verdunois patois as “Pôchoux” prepared the dish with fish from the Saône and Doubs. Originally, Pôchouse was served with a white wine sauce made from wine produced on the hillsides near Bragny-sur-Saône.
