Montbéliard > Mulhouse
61 km - We gradually leave the Franche-Comté to go downhill into timeless Alsace, with its picture-postcard woodland and storks' nests along the canal. This is a truly enchanting sight for riders on the Eurovélo 6. It is impossible to tire of this broad range of riches, both urban and rural.

The way out of Montbéliard is well surfaced and is very easy. The path runs along the Rhône-Rhine Canal, via Montreux and Dannemarie. Arriving in Mulhouse, we take the walkway to get to the Ill park, south of the city. The trail then leads straight to the city centre.
