We had a restless night due to being very hot under the eaves. Then a couple of thunderstorms passed through, rattling the windows, whilst it was booming away.
We were slow to get going as we’d opted for a short day. The rain had cleared and the clouds were moving eastwards.
Dole, an interesting town to visit, even the kids were reasonably well behavedThe scenery now changing and churches have different steeplesNow following the Doubs River, and back to green grass againCattle taking a dip. One steer waded into the water, and changed fields to another herd.!The canal follows the course of the River Doubs and here it is separated by a concrete wall. Every time the river does a meander a channel has been cut with a lock and a weir in the river, to make a shortcut. Old railway tunnelA short canal tunnel offering a free shower for boaters, or maybe a boat-wash??? I’m above the arch!!Much more hilly now. Approaching the citadel at Besançon A bike and boat tunnel under the citadel; another separate one available for cars. Sue riding into the old town where we found a bar, accommodation, and food of course!
