Fraisans used to be the centre of metallurgy

Don't forget to admire on the other bank, while looking up, the Château Roset-Fluans, already mentioned in texts since the beginning of the 12th century. However, its current architecture dates from the 17th century. It has been listed as a historic monument since 2016.

Nice to relax 😎

As there is a rapid at the Doubs, there is a small lock for the boats.

Beautiful view over the canal and Doubs to the château.

This historic lock is located at the confluence of the Rhône-Rhine Canal and the Doubs River, right next to the charming village of Dampierre, which has a picnic area. The canal connects the Saône, a navigable tributary of the Rhône, to the Rhine, via the Doubs Valley and its extension in Upper Alsace to Niffer on the Rhine. Another extension connects to Strasbourg via the Ill Canal. It was conceived as a necessary link to connect the seaports of Northern Europe with those of the Mediterranean by creating a Rotterdam-Marseille waterway that passes through Germany.

Just at reaching the old metallurgical town of Fraisans the Doubs River forms an island. The bridge crosses the river just downstream of the island, affording beautiful views of its stately park with lawns and forest. On both sides of the river used to be traditional iron works, benefiting from the waterpower.
