Pouilley-les-Vignes (in French pronounced as /pujɛ le viɲ/) is a commune in the Doubs department in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region in eastern France.

Geography

The commune lies 8km (05miles) 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.

Population

Economy

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