Visiting Dole

I decided to spend the afternoon in Dole. We’ve already visited this city when we sailed from Strasbourg to Mâcon. But it is very beautiful, so I wanted to come back, as it is just 9 minutes train ride from Auxonne. Labeled as the city of art and history with its beautiful buildings and canals will surely take your breath away. Walking through the streets of Dole you can find many small shops with hand made products, like paintings, jewelry, clothes etc. You really get the feeling there are many artists living here.

Very romantic, but short walk along the Tanneurs canal is the perfect place for a walk. It is in this district that was born Louis Pasteur, the inventor of the rabies vaccine. You can visit his birth house which is a museum today. There are many nice streets and views, but as usual we finished at the playground, which was on the island surrounded by many trees, so we were nicely in the shadow. The afternoon well spent.
