Chalon-sur-Saône is a city rich in tourist activities: castles, churches, and wine tours are all worth a visit from the EuroVelo 6 cycle route. But the city is most famous for its connection to photography. Nicéphore Niépce was born and lived in Chalon-sur-Saône and is known for inventing photography. A major museum is dedicated to him, and the city has maintained a prominent place in the world of photography.

Pleasant little town in the Bourgogne, strategically located at the crossing of several bike routes along rivers/canals
