The abbey is now privately owned, but can be visited during Heritage Days.

A former Benedictine abbey, it belonged to the diocese of Langres until 1731, then to the diocese of Dijon until 1791, when it and its possessions were sold as national property. Much of it was destroyed in 1805, but many buildings remain, such as these two 15th-century towers, a wash house, the convent buildings, and the remains of the 12th-century abbey church.

Great for warming up your legs before the Urcy climb

Took a detour to a wine shop outside of Nuit St. Georges.

The classic Grands Crus route, pretty but tiring on windy days.

Superb surface for speed bursts!

A great route out of Dijon (from the city center). The canal runs right past the center of Dijon. The route then continues past Pont de Pany into the Ouche Valley.

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.
