La Passerelle (French) or the Gateway (English) is a local newspaper distributed in the area of Planoise, in the city of Besançon (Doubs, Franche-Comté, France).

At the end of the 1970s, a free newspaper appeared in the area of Planoise (at this time it was a new neighborhood) called ZIP, ZAC, ZUP, in reference to the administrative term used about Planoise (ZUP means New Urbanised Zone in English).

After the disappearance of this newspaper in the beginning of the 1980s, la Passerelle was created in 1985, the name being a reference to the red gateway which crosses the area between Epoisses and Cassin sector.

The principal financing of la Passerelle is donations of the inhabitants of Planoise and the advertisements of the traders at the end of the newspaper.

La Passerelle recounts essential stories about the local life of the area, the testimony of inhabitants and the main events in Planoise and in the city of Besançon.
