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.
