In the 11th Century hilltop village of Châteauneuf-en-Auxois, spring
flowers liven the paths to the village market  and restaurants that offer the

line the route along the Burgundy Canal where the boats stop for the
evening.
Hiking Trails along the Burgundy Canal use the service roads where mules once
pulled the barges
