A comfortable, car-free and beautiful cycle path to Lac du Malsaucy, one of the most beautiful recreational areas of the Territoire de Belfort.

The French and European National Cycleway is a great cycleway winding along side of the Rhine Rhone Canal with very little climbing, for those who do not like to climb. However those who are climbing shy, must be aware of the wind in this area. A lot of the locks still have the former lock man’s house which adds a bit of charm to every lock. One is never alone on this route as there is a constant passing of bicycles, both leisure and racing bikes.

Loop Loop completed with our travel gravel bikes, on one day without luggage. A quick stop in Delle for a very good kebab.

The Church of St. Christopher was designed by the engineer Philippe Mareschal and built from 1727 to replace the Saint-Denis Collegiate Church. It opened for worship in 1750. Its façade, in the classical style with superimposed Doric and Ionic colonnades, is decorated with a triangular pediment bearing the king's coat of arms and religious motifs. This ornamentation was partially altered after the siege of 1870-1871. The towers were built between 1784 and 1788 (north tower) and in 1845 (south tower). The large organ is the work of the postman J.-C. Valtrin and has been restored and modified several times, notably in 1971 by François and Joseph Calinet and Kurt Schwenkedel. It was declared a historic monument by decree of 28 January 1930, erected as a basilica in 1952, and became a cathedral in 1979 following the creation of the Diocese of Belfort-Montbéliard.

The Port fluvial de Dannemarie is no ordinary marina – it’s an unexpected oasis along the canal, where boats bob gently and herons keep watch. For cyclists, it feels like a little refuge: a place to take a break from the rhythm of your pedals and take on the rhythm of the water. Here you can refill your water bottle, stretch your legs on a bench in the shade or a little further away at the restaurant, or just watch the sun play on the surface of the canal.

The Écluse d’Eglingen is a small, active lock on the Canal du Rhône au Rhin, near the village of Eglingen in the Sundgau region. This spot is popular with cyclists due to its quiet location along the 'EuroVelo 6' and regional cycle routes. The lock is surrounded by greenery and offers a bench and shade, but no facilities.

A beautiful green paradise between the highway and the city. The birdsong even drowns out the highway noise.
