The Route
At St-Jean-de-Losne, EuroVelo 6, sharing the way for a time with La Voie Bleue cycle route, heads for Chaugey on a 4km stretch along quiet roads shared with motorized traffic. There then follows a lovely section of greenway running beside the Saône, up to Pagny-la-Ville. Take care crossing the Canal de Dérivation de la Saône on the D34A road. From Pagny-la-Ville on, you ride along the quiet D110E road, with little traffic, as far as La Bruyère.
At Labruyère, at the junction of the D110E and D34 roads, branch right for a newly laid-out gravel track leading right down to the Saône. From here, follow the riverbank up to the port of Seurre.
After Seurre comes Chazelle, the peaceful D154 road leading you on from here to Verdun-sur-le-Doubs.
