Canal de Bourgogne at Brienon-sur-Armançon

Highlight • River

Good news: the Migennes Esnon section of the Burgundy canal, stony and not very passable, has just been completed on the other bank by a magnificent section of perfectly asphalted cycle route! Much easier to go from Migennes (SNCF station) to BRIENON

Cycle path along the Yonne in Chemilly-sur-Yonne

Highlight • Cycleway

In this area, the cycle path along the Yonne is paved with asphalt which is in excellent condition. It is a dream to drive here, because you can enjoy the surroundings without having to constantly pay attention to catching the best line on the way, as is necessary elsewhere.

The Dérivation de Gurgy is a short stretch of canal which makes some loops of the Yonne navigable and shortens it. the cycle path along the Yonne leads along it.

July 24, 2021,Von Auxerre über Migennes nach Saint-Florentin

Thanks to good cycle lanes, we can get out of Auxerre quickly. There is no bike path directly on the canal or the Yonne. Komoot leads us to the industrial area on a narrow forest path.
