The EuroVélo 6 in the Pays de Montbéliard
EuroVélo 6 will take you on a stunning trip from the Black Sea to the Atlantic via Budapest and Nantes. Along the way, you will experience culture and nature while effortlessly crossing borders and will be able to see beautiful and perhaps undreamed-of sites.
EuroVélo 6 passes through the Pays de Montbéliard for 32 km, where it runs alongside the Rhone-Rhine Canal and the Doubs. As a result, the route is flat, safe and well-maintained. Along the way, you can explore Montbéliard marina and Près-la-Rose park, and feats of engineering such as the Allenjoie aqueduct (1926), the Courcelles-les-Montbéliard lift bridge (1914) and Brognard lock.
