A perfect complement to the Solutré rock and Mont de Pouilly.

Bring a light jacket; it can get cold inside. For those with vision problems, don't be afraid; the lighting isn't too bright.

Several paths lead to the summit. A very pretty hike, which can be extended by climbing its big sister, Solutré, for the more athletic.

The summit of Mont Pouilly!

The Tunnel du Bois Clair is a former railway tunnel and at 1.6 km the longest tunnel in France now open to a greenway. It takes 4 to 6 minutes to cross by bike, 6 to 10 minutes on rollerblades and 15 to 20 minutes on foot, horse riders are not allowed to pass. The temperature is around 11 °C. There is a lighting system, but it is best to bring extra lighting on your bike... As this tunnel is home to protected species of bats, it is closed during hibernation (from October to April). In this case, a route is offered to bypass the tunnel, taking the circular trail n°14 (4 km, level: expert). A picnic area is located above the tunnel if you are coming via Cluny.

Occupied by bats, this tunnel is obviously often closed to protect them.

Beautiful medieval city to visit

Please note that the Bois Clair tunnel has closing periods: https://www.cluny-tourisme.com/visites-incontournables/le-tunnel-du-bois-clair/#ouverture If it is closed you will have to go through the Bois Clair pass which has the same name but not the same height difference. Good luck!
