Geography

[edit]

Montigny is located in the heart of the Jura wine region, in the north-east of the Jura, on the Jura Wine Route and the Route Pasteur. The village also boasts the title of Capital of Trousseau, a local grape variety, since the village's limestone soils particularly suit these grapes' requirements. The Larine stream springs forth in the village which it then proceeds to cross.

Arbois is 3 km from Montigny, Besançon 45 km, Dijon 30 km and Lausanne 100 km.
