Departure from Châtillon, on the greenway towards Lons le Saunier, we cross different lengths of tunnel, a metal bridge, really worth discovering.

Unfortunately we only drove this section, but a fantastic route on an old railway line in the Jura between Lons-le-Saunier and Châtillon. Perfect asphalt and some illuminated tunnel routes.

The Old Railway Tunnel

Highlight • Structure

An old railway line converted into a road bike. The tunnel is quite long, lighted and with a good coating. To cross without hesitation!

Nice railway line cycle path, here with good asphalt. But here too, unfortunately, with permitted local traffic, although I didn't see anything to the right or left where local residents wanted to go.
