Péniche Ondine Bed & Breakfast

Highlight • Structure

Because of the limited room height only for small people up to 1.75m, but otherwise a special kind of overnight stay.

Saint-Baudèle Church, Plombières-lès-Dijon

Highlight • Religious Site

15th century church with a superb bell tower in polychronous tiles, perhaps one of the most beautiful in the region.

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.

Lake Kir

Highlight • Lake

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.

Pleasant bike ride, mostly car-free along the l'Ouche and artificial lake Lac Kir. Back along the canal with nice lock houses. Impressive railway bridge.
