One of countless locks on the EV6.

A ship tunnel (1810) that can be walked through from the side as a shortcut for the Le Doubs river canal. On the other side of the canal there is a lock about 3-4 m high. There is a water curtain at both portals and the interior is beautifully and decoratively lit. Worth seeing.

It is also possible to walk through the tunnel.

The Thoraise lock is charming and surrounded by lush greenery. The abandoned old lock building adds to its charm. Nice place to rest on the bike path to Besancon.

The water channel in the tunnel is very impressive.

Chez Gervais is a historic establishment in the Loue valley. Its location by the river, in a green and bucolic setting, creates a unique atmosphere. Fly fishermen complete the picture when you are seated on the terrace. If you pass by, don't hesitate and come and sit at Edgar Faure's favorite table.

This is a dream place - and from the looks of it a great restaurant too. Unfortunately I didn't get a place anymore, it was very busy. But eating a few meters away from la Loue and in the sunshine would have been a dream.

Beautiful location and good food or dessert as a stopover very successful.
