Malate Footbridge

Highlight • Other

The Passerelle de la Malate is a pedestrian and cycle bridge in Besançon, France. Opened on 9 August 2010, it connects the Route de la Malate to the Prés-de-Vaux area by crossing the Doubs. Although it is an impressive project for cyclists and pedestrians, it is unfortunately not used to its full potential.
To make the bridge truly useful, a 2.5 km green cycle path should be created between the end of Chemin des Prés de Vaux and Chemin des Prés in Chalezeule. This would allow cyclists to travel directly from the bridge to the nearby camping area and the city centre.

This former railway bridge now serves as a cycle and pedestrian path. It offers two superb views of the Doubs as well as the Citadel.

Citadel View

Highlight • Other

From the blue bridge, you are in a good position to admire the slender profile of the Citadel of Vauban.

All you have to do is cross the bridge, take the small pedestrian tunnel, turn right, pass the Porte de Rivotte and climb the steps to reach the top. The effort is beautiful, the view is even more so.
