Haute-Saône
Open the interactive map
Not very touristy, the department is more of a transit zone. However, its countryside landscapes for walking or cycling, along with a few characterful villages like Pesmes, can make for a worthwhile stop if you're in the area. The same goes for Ronchamp, with its famous Le Corbusier chapel, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
