One of countless locks on the EV6.

A ship tunnel (1810) that can be walked through from the side as a shortcut for the Le Doubs river canal. On the other side of the canal there is a lock about 3-4 m high. There is a water curtain at both portals and the interior is beautifully and decoratively lit. Worth seeing.

The Thoraise lock is charming and surrounded by lush greenery. The abandoned old lock building adds to its charm. Nice place to rest on the bike path to Besancon.

The water channel in the tunnel is very impressive.

You can go through on foot on a special footbridge or go through with the (house) - boat. The additional lighting is attached to the tunnel ceiling in the form of a chain of running lights. The water curtain at the end of the tunnel is turned off just before passing.

Unfortunately, you cannot drive through this channel tunnel. It's over the hill for that.

Built in the 11th century, this castle is now in ruins and only the tower remains. With stunning views of the Doubs, you'll understand why it was built here - and why you should hike this far to enjoy the same strategic vantage point.
