Fort de Chaudanne
Highlight • Historical Site
If it cannot be visited, you can however go around it and appreciate its fortifications as well as the trench which surrounds it.
The fort is in a preserved natural environment and offers many viewpoints over different areas of the city, including the loop (the historic center).
Chaudanne is also a place of choice to admire the Citadel from its full length.
Several options are available to you to get there: by road from the Velotte district, or by the forest path from the Chemin de Mazagran.

Velotte lock
Highlight • Other
Indeed, the lock is a landmark for gray herons and cormorants. And if you take the time, you may also see the blue and orange reflections of kingfishers swirling along the Doubs river.
