Verdun-Ciel

Highlight • Settlement

Pleasant town at the confluence of the two rivers Doubs and Saône, with a lively farmers market on the central square on Thursdays. The canal du Rhône au Rhin, which follows the Doubs from the Rhine river, already leaves the Doubs a long way earlier and joins the larger Saône some 40 km upstream from here. Likewise, from Saint-Jean-de-Losne to the South the trail follows the canal along the much wider stream of the Saône. The EuroVelo 6 route crosses much larger bridges when weaving between the left and right banks from here on south.

Saône River

Highlight • River

The banks of the Saône offer a very pleasant setting for cycling. Today, the towpaths are perfectly suited for two-wheelers, as seen here.

May 30, 2024,Rhein-Rhone-Kanal - Tag 3 - Saone(/Doubs) - Tournus nach Seurre
Great route along the river.
30 minutes of light rain before Chalon, then sheltered in Chalon. Otherwise rain-free thanks to weather navigation.
