The Route
Greenway signposted and well laid out across 13km between Epinac and Dracy-St-Loup.
The route is well surfaced along the former railway track. There are kilometre markers along the way.
Take care: the surface is rough (in fact an earthen farm track) at the level of La Vesvres, with climbs and descents. Along the D681 road before Autun, there is a stretch on grass, but with significant rainwater channels across the way at points.
Link
From the greenway, an easy, short link (just 0.8km long) enables you to reach the Renaissance Château de Sully, which you can visit – but remember to reserve in advance.
