A ship tunnel (1810) that can be walked through from the side as a shortcut for the Le Doubs river canal. On the other side of the canal there is a lock about 3-4 m high. There is a water curtain at both portals and the interior is beautifully and decoratively lit. Worth seeing.

You can go through on foot on a special footbridge or go through with the (house) - boat. The additional lighting is attached to the tunnel ceiling in the form of a chain of running lights. The water curtain at the end of the tunnel is turned off just before passing.
