Arbois in three videos: old town, Pasteur and the Biou

A regional portrait, a report from Pasteur’s family home and archival footage of the Biou reveal distinct sides of Arbois.

Uploaded in 2019, this regional television portrait introduces Arbois through its vineyards, pale stone streets, the Cuisance, Saint-Just and the house associated with Louis Pasteur. The programme is a short visual overview rather than a detailed guide: it helps viewers understand how closely the town’s wine identity, river setting and historic centre fit together. Its 2016 broadcast context is clear from the title; opening times and visitor arrangements should still be checked with local institutions.

France 3 visits the family home of Louis Pasteur in Arbois in this 2018 report. The house is presented as a place where the scientist’s presence remains tangible, giving the segment a domestic and biographical angle instead of treating Pasteur only as a name in a textbook. It is useful preparation for a museum visit, while the newer permanent exhibition and current admission details should be confirmed through the house’s official visitor information.

This short archival clip is titled as the offering of the Biou at Saint-Just in Arbois on 3 September 2006. At only forty seconds, it documents a single moment rather than the full festival, so it should not be mistaken for a complete record of the processions. The footage gives a glimpse of the grape-cluster tradition inside the church; the town’s own history explains how the Biou combines winegrowing, parish custom and civic remembrance.
