Ornans is a commune in the Doubs department in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region in eastern France. On 1 January 2016, the former commune Bonnevaux-le-Prieuré was merged into Ornans.
Ornans is the birthplace of the French realist painter, Gustave Courbet (1819 - 1877). One of Courbet's most famous paintings is Burial at Ornans, which records the burial of his great uncle in September 1848. Courbet's painting depicted actual people who had attended the funeral and were used as models for the painting.
