シャーンのおすすめツーリングルート

A lovely bridge to reach Villefranche-sur-Saône from Beauregard, accessible only on foot or by bicycle.

The town of Cluny was based on the Benedictine monastery (Cluniac Abbey), founded in 910. The abbey was the starting point and center of the Cluniac reform at the beginning of the 10th century. Cluny reached its peak membership at the beginning of the 12th century with approximately 400 monks. The last abbey church (Cluniac 3) was the world's largest Romanesque basilica and, until the construction of today's St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, the largest church in Christendom. The church had seven towers. Although large parts of the building were destroyed, the remaining relics are absolutely remarkable and make a visit to Cluny an unforgettable experience!

very beautiful old town with life on the streets

The Voie Bleue is a cycle route of nearly 700 kilometers that connects Lyon to Luxembourg. In the Ain department, it runs along pleasant towpaths suitable for all types of bicycles.

You must take the time to visit the abbey, its crypt and especially its cloister

A 1600m tunnel, an experience to be had!

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.

On the greenway of Southern Burgundy, you can see the pretty castle of Berzé-le-Châtel at this point. It is the most important and best-preserved fortress in Burgundy. You can clearly see its various walls and towers rising up in the landscape.
