Arbois…in 1295
Welcome to the Jura and more especially to its medieval wine capital. In 1295 under the reign of the House of Ivrée, Arbois was a city of intrigue where the inhabitants led the good life. The pleasures of the table were also one of the symbols of power.
In the 13th and 14th centuries
The palatine counts of Burgundy were among the richest princes of Western Europe. The County of Burgundy was one of the jewels of the Holy Roman Empire. The Kings of France eyed the Franche-Comté of Otto IV and his daughter Jeanne II of Burgundy with great envy.
