During this hilly route which combines asphalted parts, gravel and sometimes "single track", you will discover pretty panoramas. Be careful, from the place called "Les Baraques", we had planned to cross the "bois des Bouillets" via a path marked on the map. However, this path has disappeared under vegetation and is no longer passable. It is therefore useless to go to the place called Les Baraques as the route plans, otherwise you will have to turn back.

The banks of the Doubs are a wonderful place for a bike ride. At this loop, the river is paralleled by the pretty Rhone-Rhine canal.
