Here you can find accommodation and food. You can stay in a Gite Flottant from the beginning of April to the end of September. It's not cheap, but it's exclusive. http://www.la34s.fr

A place where the Burgundy canal and the river meet. There is an information board on the cycle path indicating nearby villages (for example from here it is 2 km to Barbirey). Along the canal is a gravel path.
