Myon is a French municipality with 183 inhabitants (as of January 1 2017) in Doubs in the region Bourgogne Franche-Comté .
geography
Myon is located at 335 m , about 25 kilometers south of the city of Besançon (beeline). The farming village extends in the Jura , in a valley through which the Conche flows, just before it flows into the Lison , at the foot of the Mont du Peu.
The area of the 16.06 km² large municipality covers a section of the French Jura. The area is crossed from south to north by the Ruisseau de la Conche , initially in a narrow, densely forested valley, which, however, gradually opens up and forms a wide basin near Myon. To the northeast of the village, the stream flows into the Lison, which here flows around the Montbergeret ( 425 m ) in a large arc . The valley of the Conche is flanked on both sides by wooded heights. To the west are the Bois de la Chainée (up to 560 m ) and the Mont du Peu ( 458 m ). To the east, the municipal area extends over the Bois Monniot ( 507 m ) and the Bois les Planches up to the heights of the Bois de Séchin ( 570 m ) and in the far south to the rocky crest of the Rocher de Champharon , which is the highest at 607 m Elevation of muon is achieved.
Neighboring municipalities of Myon are Échay and Lizine in the north, Éternoz and Saraz in the east, Salins-les-Bains and Saint-Thiébaud in the south and Ivrey and Bartherans in the west.
history
Various finds indicate that the municipality of Myon was already populated in prehistoric times. In the Middle Ages, Myon formed its own little rulership. Together with Franche-Comté , the village came to France with the Peace of Nijmegen in 1678.
Attractions
The village church of the Assumption of Myon was built in the 18th century. The ruins of a medieval castle have been preserved. The old town center is characterized by numerous farmhouses in the characteristic style of Franche-Comté from the 17th to 19th centuries.

Economy and Infrastructure
Until well into the 20th century, Myon was a village dominated by agriculture (arable farming, fruit growing and cattle breeding) and forestry. In addition, there are now some local small businesses. Many workers are also commuters who work in the larger towns in the area.
The village is located away from the major thoroughfares on the D15, which leads from Quingey to Éternoz. There are other road connections with Châtillon-sur-Lison , Salins-les-Bains and Alaise.
