August 2, 2026, A so beautiful wash place

No drinking water, but still a shady spot and a good opportunity to rest.

The waterfall is impressive even when it's carrying little water. Unfortunately, it can only be seen from the small path leading down from the road. The area at the base of the waterfall is private and extensively fenced. I found that a shame.

Interesting section through the tunnel, always beautiful.

The area around the waterfall is cordoned off, so that it is actually inaccessible and can only be seen from afar. The "standing seats" that have been set up are friendly, but do not really add value to the barbed wire. You can get closer to the waterfall from above, but you should do this with caution!!

A cycle path runs through the tunnel next to the canal

The ship tunnel in Besançon is a special tunnel, specially designed for the transport of ships. The tunnel is located under the city and runs through the hill of the citadel of Besançon. It is one of the few tunnels in the world suitable for shipping and is approximately 1.6 kilometers long. The tunnel was built between 1879 and 1881 and is part of the Canal de Bourgogne, a waterway that connects the Yonne and Saône rivers. The tunnel is an important connection for shipping in the region and also attracts many tourists due to its unique character.

Chez Gervais is a historic establishment in the Loue valley. Its location by the river, in a green and bucolic setting, creates a unique atmosphere. Fly fishermen complete the picture when you are seated on the terrace. If you pass by, don't hesitate and come and sit at Edgar Faure's favorite table.
