32,40 km cycling route from Chitry-les-Mines to Clamecy

This Nivernais Canal by Bike stage sticks close to the Yonne before the river comes down from the Morvan hills. The greenway runs beside the canal, with its sweet raising bridges, locks and old villages that give it typical Nivernais charm. This area is associated with a beloved French fictional character, ginger-haired Poil de Carotte. Note the detour by road to reach Corbigny.
