Pont sur Yonne

Highlight • Other

An old and massive stone bridge over the Yonne. It is cycleable and sees a lot of car and truck use, so be careful.

Flat, smooth cycle path along the Yonne. From there if you look back you will see a railway bridge. A nice place for a break or a picnic.

A view of the valley, the vineyards and Chablis (mainly on the fairly fresh green vines in May, June and July). There are several benches to rest and admire the panorama, as well as an information board about the region.
