32,97 km cycling route from L'Isle-sur-le-Doubs to Baume-les-Dames
This is a splendid EuroVelo 6 stage in the Franche-Comté, the cycle path closely following the meanders in the Doubs River before a panoramic arrival at Baume-les-Dames. The valley is full of charm and enlivened by pleasure boats. It all makes for one of the most spectacular stretches of EuroVelo 6, but it is accessible to all.
