ロンシャンのおすすめライド

In 2025, the area around the canal port was renovated. The place, which was a bit gloomy before, is now much more welcoming.

It's beautiful but it's a steep climb!

Gentle slope which then descends towards Chamboeuf where you can find a water point

The history of this very interesting church dates back to the 6th century. The parish website provides many interesting details about the building: https://www.saint-michel-dijon.com/

Not only rivers as natural watercourses run through the country, but also many - artificially created - canals. In times long past, they were an essential part of the transport infrastructure, before rail and road took over this role. But even if this canal flowing through Burgundy is nowhere near as famous as the almost legendary "Canal du Midi" (which has at least been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site), the "Canal de Bourgogne" here near Dijon offers very nice opportunities for exercise in nature.

In the middle of Dijon, around the Île sur Canards, there is a small harbor in the Canal de Bourgogne

A statue of a seated monk reminiscent of Assassin's Creed.

Very nice climb, however, with vehicles traveling quite quickly. As TomCler says very well, the climb to Chambolle is less busy, with brand new asphalt dating from the 2024 Tour de France
