CYCLO-TOURISM

Our area is at the crossroads of several bike lanes. Cyclo-tourism map

The Blue Way, along the Saône, is the Cote-d'orien section of the V50 linking Luxembourg to Lyon. It is at low altitude and thus ensures that it is easily accessible to all in a very rich environment. Between meadows and river, enjoy a stopover to discover the surrounding towns: Talmay, with its Castle and its remarkable gardens, the green resort of Pontailler-sur-Saône, and finally the old stronghold of Auxonne, with its rich historical and military heritage.

More about the V50

The Dijon-La Saône route now offers about fifteen kilometres of shared routes and pleasant forest roads to take from Lamarche-sur-Saône. From 2019, this bike route will directly reach the city of Dijon.

The green way, from Maxilly-sur-Saône, along the Canal's towpath between Champagne and Burgundy, offers a completely secure route, green landscapes and an authentic setting.
