Vandenesse-en-Auxois — Canal lock and port

Highlight • Structure

Pretty Burgundy village of VANDENESSE on the Burgundy canal, well flowered in summer,
- at the foot of ChateauNeuf on the mountain side,
- its port of barges on the Burgundy Canal,
- a picnic area,
- restaurants for all budgets ...

It is the ideal bicycle / hike intersection point for a visit along the canal via the towpath.
We pass through many locks with their lock keepers' houses inhabited all year round and nicely decorated.

View of Château de Châteauneuf-en-Auxois

Highlight • Viewpoint

Châteauneuf-en-Auxois, set on a rocky promontory, can be seen from afar! Its silhouette, topped with a castle, winks at everyone below. The village is classified and the fortified castle can be visited. All the info here: chateauneuf.bourgognefranchecomte.eu

Chateau visible from several directions, but seemed an effort to climb the hill for a closer view.

Burgundy Canal

Highlight • Other

The greenway along the Burgundy Canal is really very pleasant to cycle through! Sometimes asphalted, sometimes covered with gravel, it follows the canal and passes next to several small locks.
