The hermitage and chapel of Saint-Ursanne are located in the town of Saint-Ursanne. Legend has it that an Irish monk named Saint Ursanne lived in a cave overlooking the Doubs River over 1400 years ago. To reach the hermitage, climb the 200-odd steps of the stone staircase to the north of the collegiate church. The enclosed grotto features a statue of the sleeping hermit and a young bear. Two monuments mark the site of the hermitage: a post-Gothic chapel rebuilt some 400 years ago and a more recent stone cross. From the hermitage, you can enjoy a lovely panoramic view over the Doubs valley.

Petite chapelle et grotte sur les hauteurs de St-Ursanne
L'ermitage de saint Ursicinus (XVIIe siècle) se trouve dans une grotte (où a vécu Ursanne) accessible par un escalier escarpé de 190 marches. L’accès de fait en passant la Porte Saint-Paul (à l’ouest), puis rue de la Cousterie, puis en passant par une porte de style Renaissance tardive (fronton daté de 1688) et ensuite la grimpette. A côté de la grotte (avec une statue grandeur humaine du Saint) où Saint-Ursanne aurait vécu, une chapelle de style post-gothique, reconstruite en 1621.
