トネールのおすすめランニングルート

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.

The Dionne pit is a karst source called the Vauclusian source, located in the city center of Tonnerre. It is fed by the infiltration of precipitation into the surrounding limestone plateau as well as by the losses of at least one river. The Dionne pit is remarkable for its flow and the size of its hydrogeological network which extends to more than 40 km. His presence is at the origin of the creation of the city of Tonnerre. An elaborate washhouse was built around the spring in the 18th century. Wikipedia

The Dionne pit is a karst spring known as the Vaucluse source. It is in fact a resurgence located in the city center of Tonnerre. His presence is at the origin of the very creation of the city. It is fed mainly by the infiltration of rain in the neighboring limestone plateau. The Dionne pit is remarkable for its flow rate with an average of 300 liters per second. Its underground network extends to more than 40 kilometers, and we still do not know its depth. Access to the source is free. For your stay in Tonnerre, I suggest the excellent hotel-restaurant l'Abbaye Saint Michel which nicknames itself "stage boudoir".
