Nice place for a break, the terrace is pleasant and shaded. A simple menu, good products. Carp fritters for those who want to pedal gently after the break.

A beautiful tour to get from Freiburg into France. Then you can follow the Rhone to the South of France or cross the Saone to the Loire. A very, very nice ride.

Thurey-le-Mont is nestled in the wooded hills north of Besançon. Its washhouse, built in the 19th century, is fed by a spring and served the village's domestic needs. It still has its stone walls and slate roof.

The Ognon crossing at Pont-sur-l'Ognon offers a scenic and serene experience for cycle tourists. As you cycle, take time to enjoy the tranquil atmosphere, with the sound of the river flowing below and the birds singing in the trees.
