Commune de Haute-Ajoie

Portrait
The new mixed municipality of Haute-Ajoie comprises the villages of Chevenez, Damvant, Réclère, Roche d'Or, and Rocourt.
 
As these villages are located in Haute-Ajoie, it was only natural to call the new municipality "Commune de Haute-Ajoie."
 
The municipality of Haute-Ajoie has retained the typical character of the Ajoie region, and agriculture is well represented. Industry is well represented by Les Ateliers Busch SA - Pompes à vide, a company located in Chevenez that provides jobs for the entire Ajoie region and beyond. There are also shops, small workshops, artisans, tourist facilities, and artists. Community life is rich in activities. All these elements contribute to the municipality's remarkable quality of life and environment.

Saint-Martin – St-Martin
Celebrated on the second Sunday after All Saints' Day, around mid-November, this culinary tradition dates back a very long way.
This tradition, which has been perpetuated over the centuries, is an excuse to prepare a gargantuan menu.
It is a celebration of food that marks the end of work in the fields, and the many dishes are mainly pork-based.
This is where the pantagruelian menu of Saint Martin's Day (St. Martin) comes from. It consists of the following dishes:

 

 

• broth
• jelly
• blood sausage with cream
• grilled meats, atriaux, and roast
• sauerkraut garnished
• crème brûlée
• totché (cream cake)
• chtriflattes
