A cycle trip leading you from the Champagne Region’s lakes to the heart of Burgundy, following the Canal entre Champagne & Bourgogne. Formerly known as the Canal de la Marne à la Saône, this stretches 224km across several départements (French counties), namely the Marne, Meuse (just for a few km), Haute-Marne and Côte-d’Or. The canal itself is very popular with tourists on boats and barges. The greenway running beside it is perfect for a family cycling adventure. Hugging both the canal and the Vingeanne River, this cycle route has many charming sides – green landscapes, traditional villages with a rich and varied heritage and châteaux hidden in leafy surrounds… plus, don’t miss the unique canal drawbridge at Cheuge, the Pont-Levis de Bourgogne!
