"The Canal de Bourgogne (German: Burgundy Canal) is a shipping channel that runs almost exclusively in the French region of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, but also briefly touches the neighboring region of Grand Est, with its length of 243 [1] kilometers connects he connects the Yonne with the Saône, and thus with further, subsequent rivers and canals, the Atlantic and the Mediterranean.

A "chemin de halage", in German "treidelpfad", which runs alongside the waterway right next to the bed of the river or canal, was an indispensable part of the transport infrastructure in earlier times. Before ships could move using motor power, horses ran along the bank and pulled the ship against the current. This was called "treideln", and that is how the "treidelpfad" got its name. Where these paths directly on the bank have been preserved, they are now popular with hikers and cyclists.
