Tips from the Community

It’s calm… even very calm, as the bridge at the foot is closed to traffic indefinitely. It’s passable (as of today) by bike, but it might not last, and if you are going downhill, there is no alternative but to go back up for 3km. Going uphill, there is another road. Oh, and the surface is in a pitiful state: no holes or stones, just tarmac very damaged by winter, so it doesn’t perform uphill and shakes in all directions downhill.

Source Bleue – a beautiful spot. Also suitable for cyclists – only about a 100m footpath.

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.
