We don't have the same definition of mountain biking!!! 80-90% road!!! Advantage: no need to clean the mountain bikes!!! In short, it's not mountain biking. It's a shame the circuits aren't checked.

Porte de Charmont was a historic gate of the city of Besançon, which was part of the fortifications built by Vauban in the 17th century. The gate was demolished in 1894 to make way for the expansion of the city. The gate was located on the north-western side of the city, near the Doubs River. The gate had a semi-circular shape and was decorated with pilasters and a pediment. The gate was one of the many entrances to the city, most of which have now disappeared or been replaced.

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.

It is also possible to walk through the tunnel.

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.
