Saint-Gengoux to Cormatin rail trail

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

This path is part of the famous Voie Verte de Bourgogne du Sud, France's oldest car-free railway path.

The section runs along a perfectly asphalted, flat former railway track. It passes directly under a classic old stone arch bridge and is lined with wooded embankments.

The stretch directly between the old train station in Saint-Gengoux and Cormatin is about 8 kilometers long. It is ideal for families, cyclists, and inline skaters, with no significant gradients.
