Burgundy Canal France
Hiking and Biking
Hiking and Biking
The Canal de Bourgogne or Burgundy Canal
provides north to south access through France and
connects the Atlantic Ocean with the Mediterranean
Sea through the Rivers Seine and Yonne to the
north, and the rivers Rhone and Saone to the south.
Wide flat walkways on either side of the canal
make great hiking and biking.
Hotels along the way in the tiny villages offer
lodging.
Canal barges make week-long trips out of Dijon
Hiking and biking in the area traversed by the canal
is some of the most scenic in France and includes
rolling farm country, fields of white Charolais cattle,
(Beef Bourguignon) small villages, and imposing
hilltop castles and Renaissance chateaus.
Much of the Burgundy Canal remains just the way it
was when constructed in the 17th and 18 th Century.
