it is interesting to see how the individual boats were prepared or not prepared. In any case, these are contemporary witnesses that must be preserved.

EuroVelo6, the Doubs and a castle ruin. Beautiful cycle path and beautiful scenery.

Ecluse Thoraise

Highlight • Bridge

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.

Thoraise Tunnel

Highlight • Historical Site

The breakthrough of Thoraise is a canal that saves 4km of navigation on the Doubs. Provided you have a small boat.
On the upstream side, pay attention to the curtain of water covering the entrance to the tunnel.
On the downstream side, at the exit you will find a lock which will allow you to join the main Rhine-Rhône canal.
