Voujeaucourt – Churches, Bridges and Cycle Paths

If you are looking for a hotel in Voujeaucourt, you can choose what to focus on: the history of its churches and bridges, or cycle paths and nature. The historic buildings bring together religious architecture, art and the history of crossings over the Doubs. For outdoor activities, highlights include a themed trail between Voujeaucourt and Mandeure, as well as the park on the banks of the Doubs.

Churches and Art in Voujeaucourt

The Temple de Voujeaucourt is listed as a Monument historique, with the designation covering the entire building. Inside, an altar, a pulpit and a choir screen from the 19th century have been preserved. Its simple oval shape is considered unique in the Pays de Montbéliard and relatively rare in general.

The Catholic Church of Saint-Michel was consecrated in 1867 and built on the site of a medieval sanctuary. It houses “Les pèlerins d’Emmaüs,” a painting created in 1946 by Pierre Jouffroy, a local son. It also contains a life-size wooden Christ on the cross. According to tradition, it came from Belchamp Abbey and dates from the late 16th century.

Bridges and Small Architectural Features

The road bridge over the Doubs is located in the centre of Voujeaucourt. For a long time, it was the only crossing over the river between Franche-Comté and the Pays de Montbéliard. The bridge was partially destroyed six times during wars, but its arches are well preserved.

The former towpath bridge was demolished in 2012 and replaced by a metal footbridge, which carries the Nantes–Budapest EuroVelo route. Another architectural feature can be found at 82 Grande rue: a covered fountain with a washhouse.

Cycling and Nature Destinations

The Sentier ludique de la Côte Roux is a 750-metre interactive trail between Voujeaucourt and Mandeure, accessible to everyone. Themed stations, games and animal sculptures introduce visitors to the trees and features of this small wooded area.

The Parc de la promenade du Doubs is a tree-filled park on the banks of the Doubs, with children’s play facilities and a fitness area. It also has a picnic table by the river and a cycle track for children. On a cycling trip along EuroVelo 6, the park makes a good place to stop for a picnic or a short break. If the themed trail’s accessibility or the picnic table is important for your plans, check the latest information before visiting.

For your planning, distinguish between the cycling stage and the train connection: Voujeaucourt is listed as a stop on the EuroVelo 6 stage between Montbéliard and L’Isle-sur-le-Doubs. TER trains run between Belfort, Montbéliard and Besançon.
