Santoche (French pronunciation: [sɑ̃tɔʃ]) is a former commune in the Doubs department in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region in eastern France. On 1 January 2017, it was merged into the new commune Pays-de-Clerval. [2]
Santoche lies 2 km (1.2 mi) north of Clerval in the valley of the Doubs on an ancient Roman road.
The commune has the only dolmen in the department and a rectangular mound surrounded by ditches called the Motte Jules César, which was once a Gallic temple.
Archaeological digs have discovered prehistoric objects and bones.
