A beautiful tour to get from Freiburg into France. Then you can follow the Rhone to the South of France or cross the Saone to the Loire. A very, very nice ride.

A nice campsite right on the Doubs. Just set up camp. In the evening, someone goes around and registers you. Then you pay at the cash register. I think it was around €7 for the tent. I set up a spot in the shade. The restrooms are a bit older, but when I was there to shower, someone was always there cleaning, and it was noticeable. There was a music festival in the village that evening. The birds were noisy at night, but that's nature. The next morning, we drove to the delicious bakery in the village and then moved on.

The campsite is managed by the municipality. The reception is open for 30 minutes each morning and evening. If you arrive between these hours, you can simply set up camp on a free pitch and report to reception when it opens.

The banks of the Doubs are a wonderful place for a bike ride. At this loop, the river is paralleled by the pretty Rhone-Rhine canal.
