BURGUNDY CANAL

 

The Burgundy Canal joins the rivers Yonne and Soane and reaches its’ highest point at Pouilly en Auxois, and then passes through a long tunnel to emerge close to Vandenesse from where it descends (past Chateauneuf) to the Valley of the River Ouche.

The towpaths are very safe for cycling with children (no traffic), and are FLAT! (apart from the locks)

The section up the valley from Pont d’Ouche is particularly beautiful.

Trips on the canal are available from the Port at Pouilly. Please contact the Housekeeper for more detail.
