Burgundy Canal Hiking |
The Canal de Bourgogne or Burgundy
Canal provides north to south access
through France and connects the
Atlantic Ocean with the Mediterranean
Sea through the Rivers Seine and
Yonne to the north, and the rivers Rhone
and Saone to the south.
The area traversed by the canal is
some of the most scenic in France and
includes rolling farm country, fields of
white cattle, small villages, and
imposing hilltop castles and chateaus.
Much of the canal remains just the way
it was when constructed in the 17th and
18 th Century.
Wide flat walkways on either side make
great hiking and biking. Hotels along
the way in the tiny villages offer lodging.
Canal barges make week-long trips out
of Dejon and other ports.
