Itinerary
On your right, it is the Arans gate that marks the entrance to the Dolois city center. Built in 1551, it was part of the fortifications that surrounded the city at that time.
This building was built in the 18th century. At that time, it served as a fire training centre for arquebusiers, soldiers who used an old firearm, the arquebuse. From 1908, it became the labour exchange.
You walk here along the port of Dole, where 30 pitches are put at the service of navigators wishing to discover this beautiful medieval town.
You have in front of you a very nice view of the houses in the historic center of Dole and its majestic collegiate church overlooking it.
Here you are in the pleasant garden of Chevannes. Built in 1998 in place of the old city walls, it is a very nice place to walk in the historic heart.
You walk along the canal on a quay named after the famous Louis Pasteur, creator of the rabies vaccine, who was born nearby. It is one of the most picturesque places in Dole, ideal for strolling along the water and the restaurants and cafes that are there.
At the heart of this underground passage is the so-called Grande Fontaine, a spring that was converted into a wash house during the 18th century. But the fountain dates from the 13th century, since it is mentioned as early as 1274.
Here ends the canal from the Rhone to the Rhine, which flows into the Doubs, the river that gave its name to the neighboring department of Jura.
The building in front of you, built in the 18th century, was once the Officers’ Pavilion and was part of the former Dole Castle. It has a beautiful architecture typical of the 18th century.
Here you are on the pleasant Cours Saint-Mauris, a beautiful promenade that marks the entrance to the historic center of Dolois. It was laid out in the 18th century, in place of the old city walls, removed in the 17th.
This beautiful theatre is the cultural symbol of the city. Built between 1840 and 1843, it was designed with an Italianate hall and elegant and imposing neoclassical architecture.
This is the facade of Dole's Jesuit chapel. It is part of the Collège de l’Arc, a group of educational institutions long occupied by the Jesuits.
