Nozeroy, Medieval commune in Jura, France.
The stone buildings of Nozeroy stand at an elevation between 660 and 834 meters above sea level in eastern France's Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region.
The Clock Tower, constructed in the 15th century, marks the entrance to this former stronghold of the Chalon dukes in the medieval period.
The Saint-Antoine collegiate church houses altar fronts and chasubles embroidered with wheat straw, a technique developed by nuns in the 17th century.
QR codes placed throughout the historical center allow visitors to independently explore the commune's past while a game booklet guides children around the ramparts.
The Val de Mièges butter cooperative manufactures artisanal butter from cream, while two cheese dairies produce the regional Comté cheese.

The Jura department features varied landscapes with mountain ranges, limestone plateaus, and forested valleys. The terrain has shaped notable geological sites: the Hérisson waterfalls stretch over nearly 4 kilometers with 31 waterfalls, the Baume-les-Messieurs Reculée forms a closed valley with 200-meter-high walls, and the Langouette Gorges show a canyon carved by the Saine between vertical cliffs. Historic towns reflect the past of the region: Dole preserves its collegiate church and 16th- and 17th-century houses with arcades, Arbois hosts the Louis Pasteur house and wine cellars, while Salins-les-Bains displays its old salt production facilities listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Jura vineyards produce specific wines, including the yellow wine made in Château-Chalon, a village perched on a rocky spur overlooking the vineyards. The Haut-Jura Regional Natural Park offers hiking trails and cross-country skiing routes. The ski resorts of Les Rousses and Métabief welcome winter visitors at over 1100 meters altitude. Glacial lakes such as Chalain allow swimming and water activities during the summer.
