    The only underground tunnel on the Rhône-Rhine canal, apart from the Besançon tunnel built later. Opened in 1820, this tunnel is 185 meters long. You can observe the dancing of the boats in the circular turning basin which allows them to position themselves in the axis of the tunnel.

      The Thoraise breakthrough is a canal that saves 4km of navigation on the Doubs. As long as you have a small boat.
      From the upstream side, watch out for the curtain of water that covers 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.
