Écluse 54 S de Larrey

Highlight • Other

Lock No. S54 on the Burgundy Canal. The lock house appears to be inhabited.
The canal itself is no longer economically important and is now used almost exclusively by houseboats.

This vast body of water on the edge of the city is the favorite promenade of the people of Dijon. It owes its name to Canon Kir (to whom we also owe the famous aperitif!), a former mayor of Dijon who had this artificial lake built in 1964. Every summer, it takes on the air of a seaside resort with "Dijon Plage" .

Greenway of the Burgundy Canal

Highlight • Cycleway

Honestly, I don't see the point in marking this place... A cycle path along the canal and highway...
Perhaps an error in the positioning of the lair.

June 15, 2024,Tour de Dijon

Starting with the approach from Plombières-lès-Dijon along the Canal de Bourgogne, I decided to bypass Lac Kir, which is a reservoir on the Ouche. From there I explored the old town of Dijon with its squares, churches and narrow streets. Finally, I took a look at the Canal de Bourgogne as it leaves Dijon again. Back along the canal again.
