An idyllic, paved cycle path directly on the riverbank. It is a section of the well-known French long-distance cycle route „La Voie Bleue - Moselle-Saône Radweg" (Route V50) along the Saône. The entire long-distance cycle route covers around 700 kilometers from the Luxembourg border town of Apach (near the tripoint) to Lyon. The Saône section follows the natural meanders of the Saône, passing meadows, historic villages, and well-known wine-growing regions such as Mâcon. The route is mostly flat on former towpaths.

Along the Saône runs the unfortunately often unpaved, patchy Voie Bleu ("Blue Way"). Incidentally, there is only one Voie Bleu, unlike the Voies Vertes. From Wikivoyage.

Very flat, easy, although a little monotonous...

From this passage of the Voie Bleue, we have a lovely view of the Saône. Depending on the weather, the color of the water alternates between blue and green.

At this point on the Voie Bleue, the Mouge flows into the Saône. The low water level favors vegetation and the places are known to fishermen for their fish-rich waters. It is a pleasant site for a break with a beautiful view of the river.
