Tips from the Community
Excerpt from the commemorative plaque: "This washhouse, flanked by a water trough, is the work of architect Jean Caillot. It forms the heart of the village and serves as a landmark for the community hall, the town hall, the market square, the castle and its gardens. The structure was completed in 1866, and the numerous restorations, the last dating from 2010, have preserved its original appearance. It is still fed by the same spring that never runs dry." Next to the washhouse is a "never-ending" drinking water spring.

In the heart of Burgundy a small harbor with ships like the Niagara or the Nirvana. In addition, a restaurant where you should treat yourself to a break.

A great route out of Dijon (from the city center). The canal runs right past the center of Dijon. The route then continues past Pont de Pany into the Ouche Valley.
