Chalon-sur-Saône
Mâcon
Southern Burgundy is made for cycling. The first-ever French greenway was set up here, from Givry’s vineyards to the famed Cluny Abbey. Now, enjoy a splendid circuit between Chalon and Mâcon, taking the greenway out via the vinous Côte Chalonnaise, returning by the Voie Bleue, a waterside route by the Saône. Gastronomy, wine-tasting and fine heritage sights are on offer on this easy, delightful section. Count on a trip of 3 to 4 days.
