    This former railway bridge now serves as a cycle and pedestrian path. It offers two superb views of the Doubs as well as the Citadel.

      The Pont de Chardonnet is a bridge over the River Doubs in the French city of Besançon. The bridge was built in 1938 as part of a project to connect the port of Besançon to the railways. The bridge is made of reinforced concrete and has three arches with a span of 43.38 meters each. The bridge was blown up by military authorities on June 16, 1940, during World War II, and later rebuilt. The bridge is now used for pedestrian traffic and connects the Prés-de-Vaux and Bregille districts with the historic center of the city. The bridge is an example of 20th century modern architecture in Besançon.
