Great rest area with toilet and shelter

The banks of the Saône offer a very pleasant setting for cycling. Today, the towpaths are perfectly suited for two-wheelers, as seen here.

As a memorial to the many dead, such a "MONUMENT AUX MORTS" (usually called a "Central Memorial" or "War Memorial" in German-speaking countries) is still very important today. "Now, Lord, you let your servant depart in peace, as you have said..." it says in the so-called "Hymn of Simeon" (Luke's Gospel, Chapter 2, Verse 29). However, the people who are remembered here did not depart in peace, but became victims of war and tyranny. Therefore, the term "fallen memorial" is now sometimes used instead of the "war memorial" that was previously common in German. In the French-speaking world, however, this aspect of commemoration of the dead has long been included in the most commonly used term "MONUMENT AUX MORTS". Regardless of language and nation, such a memorial has two important and at the same time everlasting tasks: -1- To keep alive the memory of the suffering and horror of war, -2- and to remind people of the need to maintain peace in the long term.

We found a nice bar on Rue du Pignon. They also serve good local food!

we enjoy the trip along the Saône - we enjoy the canal trip.

A lovely spot with good food – beautiful steps down to the river. Very relaxed!

For a stopover and a little refreshment, I can recommend the "AU Bistro de la Capitainerie". Here you can sit nicely by the river Doubs before it joins the Saóne.
