Pouilley-les-Vignes is a commune in the Doubs department in the region of Franche-Comté 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.
