After a short descent down from the chateau and a somewhat short 6% ascent, we found le Doubs river and rode along it for about 100km on a paved bike path.<\/p>\n

The total ride was 117 km, 1,667 ft climbing.<\/p>\n

We rode along the green riverbanks of a calm river, under limestone cliffs through many small villages with colourful bell towers, towpaths lined with plane trees and led brick paper mills. This bike path is part of the famous Eurovelo 6, a network of bike paths which goes from the Atlantic Ocean to the Black Sea.<\/p>\n

\nTo leave Besancon, we pedalled in a tunnel that goes through the huge rock that the fortress sits on, just for bikes and pedestrians!
