The Gare-d'Eau is a sector of Besançon city center that was once a port for goods and later for entertainment. Today it consists of the gardens of the Gare-d'Eau, a large green space along the Doubs, although the basin that served as a nautical stop still exists. By extension, the Bisontines also refer to the Avenue de la Gare-d'Eau and generally the northeastern quays up to the Rivotte sector as part of this sector.

Citadel Canal Tunnel

Highlight (Segment) • Bridge

The tunnel is part of the complex system of waterways that cross the city and is designed to allow ships to pass through the city without having to pass through the city center. It provides an underground passage for boats, bicycles and pedestrians. There is a parallel tunnel for car traffic.
