Discover Longcochon

Longcochon brings together a religious connection to the area, accompanied carriage rides, a network of routes associated with Auberge Le Sillet, and a food truck serving pizza made with Italian and local ingredients. If you are looking for a hotel, the area’s different themes can help you decide what interests you about your trip.

Location and name

Longcochon lies on the edge of the Val de Mièges and overlooks the medieval village of Nozeroy. Locally, the name “Longcouchant” is associated with Longcochon’s position as the last village reached by the evening light. This places a geographical description alongside a local idea about the evening light: one describes the village’s location, while the other connects its name with the evening light.

Sainte-Anne Chapel and feast day

In the centre of the village is Sainte-Anne Chapel, which dates from the 16th or 17th century. For decades, a Mass has been celebrated there on 26 July, the feast day of Saint Anne. The chapel also stands beside a road and is visited by tourists and passers-by throughout the year. These details refer to different time frames: the Mass recurs on a specific feast day, while visitors come in every season. The dedication and feast day are linked and form a recurring religious focal point; the date places the chapel within a historical period.

Accompanied carriage rides

Auberge Le Sillet offers accompanied carriage rides in carriages for four to five people, as well as in a carriage for ten people. You can compare the options according to your group size; all rides are accompanied. The stated capacity gives you a specific point of reference. As availability may change, check the offer before planning your trip.

Network of routes for riders and walkers

Auberge Le Sillet is also part of the Jura du Grand Huit network, whose marked routes total 1,500 kilometres and are open to riders and walkers. The distance refers to the network as a whole, not to a single route. The carriage rides and route network are therefore different options: one is an accompanied ride offered by the auberge, while the other is a network of marked routes for walkers and riders. For planning purposes, the figures answer different questions: the carriage capacity indicates the possible group size, while Jura du Grand Huit’s distance indicates the extent of the entire marked route network. They are not comparable route distances.

Pizza made with Italian and local ingredients

The Max & Biga food truck in Longcochon makes contemporary pizzas using fresh, high-quality Italian and local ingredients. Its description of the ingredients combines Italian and local origins. For your trip, this culinary highlight complements the area’s connections to the chapel and activities with a specific food offering.
