An idyllic, paved cycle path directly on the riverbank. It is a section of the well-known French long-distance cycle route „La Voie Bleue - Moselle-Saône Radweg" (Route V50) along the Saône. The entire long-distance cycle route covers around 700 kilometers from the Luxembourg border town of Apach (near the tripoint) to Lyon. The Saône section follows the natural meanders of the Saône, passing meadows, historic villages, and well-known wine-growing regions such as Mâcon. The route is mostly flat on former towpaths.

The Saint-Laurent Bridge (Pont Saint-Laurent) is a historic stone bridge that spans the Saône River. It connects the town of Mâcon in the Saône-et-Loire department with the municipality of Saint-Laurent-sur-Saône in the Ain department. Initial wooden structures were already built by the Romans. The current stone bridge dates back to the 11th century in its core and is considered the oldest bridge over the Saône. The structure consists of twelve stone arches. On one of the pillars, there is a statue of Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of boatmen. It is one of the few historic structures in the region that survived the demolitions of World War II unscathed.

Along the Saône runs the unfortunately often unpaved, patchy Voie Bleu ("Blue Way"). Incidentally, there is only one Voie Bleu, unlike the Voies Vertes. From Wikivoyage.

On a road cycling tour, Komoot sends road cyclists this way, Komoot thinks it's a good route for road cycling. I disagree.

The La Charme manor house in Montrevel-en-Bresse is a beautiful two-story, half-timbered building, which dendrochronology tells us dates precisely to 1497. A representative example of an entire family of earth and wood buildings threatened with extinction simply due to their fragility and little known due to their dispersal, it undoubtedly constitutes, along with the Saracen chimney farms, the most original settlement in Bresse, and as such is an integral part of the irreplaceable national heritage.
