Economy

Five winemakers currently have their cellars in Mesnay, whose south-facing slopes, known as the Côteau des Nouvelles, are covered in vines:

  • Domaine Martin Faudot (Michel Faudot)
  • Domaine de la Cibellyne (Benoît Royer)
  • Domaine Hughes Béguet (Patrice Béguet)
  • Domaine des Bélemnites (Christian Melet)
  • Thomas Popy

Since 2011 the premises of the former village school have been occupied by a Montessori nursery and primary school, Graine de Vie.

Places to Visit

The Cartonnerie de Mesnay, Écomusée du carton et maison de l'abeille. Originally a cardboard factory, Hétier Père et Fils, founded in 1710 on the banks of the Cuisance river, this disaffected industrial site has since been cleaned up and transformed into a cultural site. The former cardboard works can be visited in the Écomusée du carton, whilst a small, neighbouring museum, the Maison de l'abeille, provides an interesting introduction to apiculture, which still thrives in the village. The site is now also home to a number of associations, artists and craftspeople, including sculptors, a puppet-theatre company and a business producing high-end tree houses.

Every Tuesday evening throughout July and August the village organises a very popular outdoor food market.
