Good news: the Migennes Esnon section of the Burgundy canal, stony and not very passable, has just been completed on the other bank by a magnificent section of perfectly asphalted cycle route! Much easier to go from Migennes (SNCF station) to BRIENON

The Burgundy Canal, which begins at Migennes, linked the Seine basin to that of the Rhône via the Saône. The section between Migennes and Tonnerre is quite pleasant and allows you to visit many small towns. Be careful of the poor surfacing at the beginning of the route... Brienon is an interesting stopover: old port, mills, Renaissance church, castle, very beautiful 18th century wash house. Swimming, camping...
