Pouilley-les-Vignes
Pouilley-les-Vignes (French pronunciation: [pujɛ le viɲ]) is a commune in the Doubs department in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region in eastern France.
Geography
The commune lies 8 km (5.0 mi) northwest of Besançon. Fortifications were built on the surrounding heights by Jean de Chalon, Count of Burgundy in the 10th century. The only remains are the Porte d'Orange, a gate carved from the rock, and the Baraque des Enragés, a subterranean entrance to the fort.
