Tips from the Community

Bladdfuss
July 15, 2026, Dole

Dole, a small jewel in the Franche-Comté. Through the alleys into the tanners' quarter, where the father of microbiology, Louis Pasteur, was born and the Doubs flows so calmly that you almost forget that this city was once the powerful capital of Franche-Comté. The architecture of the quarter still tells of tanners and leather craftsmanship: houses with large cellars where the hides were processed in pits and vats, as well as drying floors with wide openings through which the leather dried in the wind.

This is an essential stop on the EuroVelo 6 (Nantes-Budapest). A magnificent town in the Jura region, well worth a day trip.

Beautiful view of the charming town of Dole from the canal. You can see the Cordeliers convent and the Notre-Dame collegiate church.

This section runs alongside the Rhine-Rhône Canal and is part of the EuroVelo 6 route. The canal's lively atmosphere is delightful. The cycle path is well-maintained and the setting is very pleasant.

The Voie de la Bresse Jurassienne connects Lons-le-Saunier to Dole. It forms the link between EuroVelo 6 and the Voie Bressane. Over 53 kilometers, this cycle route follows an old railway line through the Jura Bresse and the Finage plain.

Maison des Étangs, before it was a railway station. The house of ponds is the starting point for several hiking trails in the Bresse-Revermont Community of Communes. This place has become a gîte that can accommodate 36 people. More info here: http://www.bresse-revermont.com/decouvert/la-maison-des-etangs.html
