Tips from the Community
A beautiful iron bridge over the Doubs. I don't recommend driving on the D437, as some drivers practically use it as a "race track," and the shoulder is very narrow in places.

The banks of the Doubs are a wonderful place for a bike ride. At this loop, the river is paralleled by the pretty Rhone-Rhine canal.

But be careful, it's not drinking water. Only for cooling down.

The section between the rocks is gravel. Not the best surface for racing bikes, but doable.
