The Roche-lez-Beaupré towpath runs along the Rhine-Rhône canal which separates from the Doubs to allow many boaters to go down or up the river throughout the Doubs valley.
A very vegetated portion of the course. Do not hesitate to watch for Kingfishers along the banks.

You will find along the way a small authentic bistro to stop by the water and enjoy the view.

Here the canal separates a little from the river. Look at the correct information panel. The town's name comes from the rocky ridge overlooking the course of the Doubs. Its proximity to the priory of Beaupré (Bellum pratum) distinguishes it from the fifteen other Roche. roche-lez-beaupre.fr
