Tips from the Community
The Rhine-Rhône Canal runs directly alongside high cliffs here and opens into a narrow lock channel through a very narrow rock archway. A truly spectacular section of our cycling route!

A charming town in Franche-Comté, part of the Holy Roman Empire until the Treaty of 1678. Very prosperous in the Middle Ages, thanks to its trade and artisans. A cloth market was established there as early as the 14th century, after Joan of Burgundy, Countess of Franche-Comté and Queen of King Philip V the Long of France, brought weavers from Paris. From June 14, 1354, until the Revolution, the bourgeoisie of Marnay had a charter of emancipation that guaranteed them security and prosperity: "Whoever has a house and keeps a fire in the town will be a bourgeois." This charter allowed the inhabitants to administer the town themselves and thus build ramparts and create the individual gardens that can still be seen today.

If you would like to visit the saltworks and the exhibitions in addition to the walk, you should plan at least 90 minutes.

A wonderful tour along the Doubs river. Due to the high water levels, there are impressive hydraulic jumps at the weirs.
