Gray, Medieval river port commune in Haute-Saône, France

The town of Gray extends along the banks of the Saône River, with buildings arranged across multiple levels between 187 and 249 meters elevation.

The settlement grew from a 7th-century estate owned by the Gradus family until Louis XIV ordered the destruction of its defensive structures during his reign.

The Musée Baron Martin, housed in a former aristocratic residence, contains 1200 artworks spanning from the 15th to 20th centuries across 24 exhibition rooms.

The central bus station connects Gray to neighboring cities including Besançon, Vesoul, and Dijon through regular regional transportation services.

The National Esperanto Museum in Gray preserves documents and artifacts related to the international language movement in eastern France.
