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

Thoraise Lock

Highlight • Monument

The locks are all small and nice to look at.
Then there is a tunnel for the ships, unfortunately not with a cycle path.
