June 28, 2025,Burgund: Radtour von Chagny nach Nolay (am Kanal, über eine Bahntrasse in das Mittelalter)

A lovely little bike ride along the canal and then uphill along an old railway line to Nolay, a small medieval town with a beautiful market square and church.
There's the Brassery des Halles, where you can stop for a nice bite to eat.
Then return almost the same way.
