Canal du Rhône au Rhin

Highlight • Cycleway

The Rhône-Rhine Canal connects a navigable tributary of the Rhône, the Saône, to the Rhine. It is bordered by a cycle path that crosses the beautiful Doubs Valley and runs alongside the river. On the opposite bank, you'll see many cyclists using an old towpath that once allowed boats to travel upstream along the canal.

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.
