Magnificent Exterior Trompe l'oeil Gallery

Worth a visit, very beautiful inside and well preserved.

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.

in August 2023, the washhouse was open. it was therefore possible to visit it. very pretty.

This castle has hosted filming of famous swashbuckling series: the first of Bernard Borderie's "Angélique Marquise des Anges" films, with Michèle Mercier, Robert Hossein, and Jean Rochefort, is among others filmed in the marvelous settings of the Château de Tanlay. It is one of the most beautiful specimens of Renaissance architecture in Burgundy, famous in particular for its trompe l'oeil gallery and for its frescoes of the League Tower It also has very beautiful moats and rich furniture interior. Certain architectural details, such as the pyramids on the access bridge, the wall surrounding the green courtyard, the Gallery of the Caesars and the nymphaeum, are steeped in the Italian Renaissance. The castle is open every day of the week except Tuesday. Many events such as plays, running races, garden tours and golf cups are organized throughout the season.

Set up for the section of the canal opened to traffic in 1832 (from Pont-de-Pany to Tonnerre). Located on the right bank, the lock keeper's house is built of coated rubble stones, with mechanical tiles. A lean-to extension extends the right side of the roof of the house. Extremely remodeled, the house today opens through a semi-circular door, in the extension.

Very nice stopover to spend the night during a bike ride along the Burgundy Canal. You can pitch your tent in the garden of the lock house.

Nice place on the canal with possibility to stay and eat well. 👍
