The Rhone-Rhine Canal offers a magnificent escape along the water, crossing varied landscapes between fields, forests and picturesque villages. Ideal for a walk or bike ride, along its shaded banks, this historic canal allows you to admire the tranquil beauty of the French countryside. The locks punctuate the route, adding an additional charm to this peaceful walk.

Although we were travelling during the summer holidays, the route was almost deserted. A well-travelled path along the canal, which is now only used for irrigating the fields. Since it was quite shady, it was pleasant even in higher temperatures. In any case, it was much nicer than the routes along the road.
