The French and European National Cycleway is a great cycleway winding along side of the Rhine Rhone Canal with very little climbing, for those who do not like to climb. However those who are climbing shy, must be aware of the wind in this area. A lot of the locks still have the former lock man’s house which adds a bit of charm to every lock. One is never alone on this route as there is a constant passing of bicycles, both leisure and racing bikes.

The Port fluvial de Dannemarie is no ordinary marina – it’s an unexpected oasis along the canal, where boats bob gently and herons keep watch. For cyclists, it feels like a little refuge: a place to take a break from the rhythm of your pedals and take on the rhythm of the water. Here you can refill your water bottle, stretch your legs on a bench in the shade or a little further away at the restaurant, or just watch the sun play on the surface of the canal.

The restaurant Aux 100 Pâtés in Dannemarie is a pasta bar located along the Eurovelo 6 cycle path, near the Dannemarie marina in the Sundgau region. "We offer four types of pasta with over 50 side dishes made fresh on-site. Homemade desserts, hot and cold drinks, and ice cream are also on our menu." But I'm sure you'll find plenty of pasta here.
