along the water

The Migennois

Where the Yonne, the Armançon and the Burgundy Canal meet. Cycle towards Dijon, cast off without a licence, or simply let the water carry you.

I feel like…

Stroll

242 km of canal, three ways to enjoy it

Cargo barges have given way to pleasure boats, and the towpaths to cyclists. From the Yonne to the Saône, it all starts here.
