Great for warming up your legs before the Urcy climb

often windy between Lantenay and Mâlain

Nice and pretty village.

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.

Vercingetorix, the great Celtic prince who was tragically defeated by the Romans. The battle site is historically important for France.

Beautiful road, not very busy

The Château de Mâlain is the seat of a lordship attested from the 11th century and among the most important in the region. The families who occupied it successively from the beginning to the Revolution – the Sombernon, the Montagu, the Beaufremont, the Mâlain, the Brulard, the Vichy – played an important role on several occasions in Burgundy and even at the court of the king. Ascent to the castle feasible by gravel.
