Mélisey

This tiny village in eastern France's Haute-Saône, Mélisey sits on the River Ognon at the edge of the Mille Étangs plateau, a landscape of a thousand ponds that draws ecotourism. The historic centre includes a church with a 12th-century Romanesque bell tower. The village served as a textile manufacturing centre in the 19th century and is today the administrative seat of the Communauté de communes des mille étangs, with the wider Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region holding several UNESCO World Heritage sites.
