Pouilley-les-Vignes

Pouilley-les-Vignes is a commune in the Doubs department in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region in eastern France.

Geography
The commune lies 8 km northwest of Besançon. Fortifications were built on the surrounding heights by Jean de Chalon, Count of Burgundy in the 10th century. The only remains are the Porte d'Orange, a gate carved from the rock, and the Baraque des Enragés, a subterranean entrance to the fort.

Economy
Until 1920, wines such as Pulsard, Pinot, and Gamay were made in the commune, but very few small vineyards remain.
