Thoraise Tunnel

Highlight • Historical Site

The breakthrough of Thoraise is a canal that saves 4km of navigation on the Doubs. Provided you have a small boat.
On the upstream side, pay attention to the curtain of water covering the entrance to the tunnel.
On the downstream side, at the exit you will find a lock which will allow you to join the main Rhine-Rhône canal.

Ecluse Thoraise

Highlight • Bridge

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.
