Beautiful cycle path right along the canal

You can drive through the tunnel or alongside it on the cycle path.

The campsite is located directly on the river. The pitches are generously sized and easily accessible. Cycle route 6 runs right past the campsite. Check-in and check-out were very quick and straightforward. A few more modern sanitary facilities would be desirable.

Marnay Castle, built from the 11th century onwards, was remodeled several times up until the 18th century. Formerly the residence of the lords of Marnay, it still has a medieval tower, Renaissance façades and a large wooded park.

A charming town in Franche-Comté, part of the Holy Roman Empire until the Treaty of 1678. Very prosperous in the Middle Ages, thanks to its trade and artisans. A cloth market was established there as early as the 14th century, after Joan of Burgundy, Countess of Franche-Comté and Queen of King Philip V the Long of France, brought weavers from Paris. From June 14, 1354, until the Revolution, the bourgeoisie of Marnay had a charter of emancipation that guaranteed them security and prosperity: "Whoever has a house and keeps a fire in the town will be a bourgeois." This charter allowed the inhabitants to administer the town themselves and thus build ramparts and create the individual gardens that can still be seen today.

The campsite is located between the canal and the Doubs River and offers direct access to the Doubs River. The weir is also directly visible from the campsite. The only thing that could be improved is the sanitary facilities: the toilets don't have toilet seats, and toilet paper must be taken from the dispenser before entering the cubicle. Other than that, it's a nice campsite that also offers covered seating.

First mentioned in 1225, the castle oversaw the main passage of the river.

Just off the cycle route, lovely piece of working art.
