It's situated on the Doubs and is adorable. We parked in a lot across from the river and walked into town. See the green & white boats on the river? Dole is a home base for Nicols, a barge rental company. The large tower is part of the Collegiate Church.
I thought this was a cute barge, complete with room for a car.
We picked up a map from the TI, which is located at Place Jules Grevy. The map outlined the Circuit du Chat Perche (Trail of the Perched Cat), which took us on a 4-km, 2 1/2 hour walk around the town.
Place Jules Grevy is marker #8 on the map.
Across the street is #7--Cours Saint-Mauris, a public park built in the 18th century.
The park is dominated by a statue of Louis Pasteur, a French chemist and microbiologist who discovered a vaccine for Anthrax and rabies.
Louis Pasteur's birthplace (#5) is now a museum. Admission is €5 and the museum is closed on Mondays.
Walking around town.
Bereur Mansion (#10) was built for a member of the parliament in the 17th century. It now houses Jura's sub-prefecture.
Cute and disgusting at the same time. This was a board where you put your gum.
