Every time I stop at Eurovelo Route 6 in Dole, I enjoy the view of the city's landmark from the canal. Notre-Dame from the 16th century with its 75 m high tower.

Dole, medieval town

Highlight • Other

Very nice medieval city. You can follow the signs on the sidewalk (arrows with a cat) to have a walking tour of many historical places throughout the city, such as the house where Louis Pasteur was born.

View of Dole and Saint-Jean Church

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here, the view of Dole is a real postcard. This peaceful path runs along the canal and offers bucolic panoramas of the calm waters, with Dole and its Saint-Jean church in the spotlight.
