Tips

The breakthrough of Thoraise is a canal that saves 4km of navigation on the Doubs. Provided you have a small boat.
On the upstream side, pay attention to the curtain of water covering the entrance to the tunnel.
On the downstream side, at the exit you will find a lock which will allow you to join the main Rhine-Rhône canal.

A very nice place for a bike ride and a stop for rest. Calm

The breakthrough of Thoraise is a tunnel dating from 1810 during the construction of the Rhone-Rhine canal, also called the canal de Monsieur. It cuts the loop of 350 ° Doubs around the peninsula occupied by the small town nine kilometers southwest of Besançon, whose site is similar. At the moment when the loop of Doubs seems to close again, a rocky mass intervenes, diverting its course. It is on this rock that is the heart of the village. Renovated in 2008, the tunnel is lit all along by two bright streamers and each entrance has its artificial waterfall. fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoraise#Lieux_et_monuments
