Champagnole is a floral town featuring the "Parc de Belle Frise". The Ain passes below the lower edge of the park. On its bank are walks. In the same way, Champagnole is the gateway to the Route des Sapins (the Pine Road), which in forty kilometres, crosses the forests of the Frese, the Joux and of Levier, named after the commune where the route ends. The Forges de Syam form part both of the history of Champagnole's industry and of its present. There are signs that it may be set for the future too. Sports Champagnole is a sporting town with all types of sports club including rugby, football, tennis, baseball, pétanque and handball. Stage 19 of the 2020 Tour de France ended here.
