Wonderful location on the Burgundy Canal, a welcoming hub for hikers, cyclists, and boaters. Rooms, a small restaurant with a bar and restaurant, and a small grocery store for basic needs. And Christel and Gérald are two warm hosts. We loved our stay there. maison-du-canal.fr

And Christel and Gérald are two welcoming hosts. For long-distance hikers on the Sentier Bibracte, Alésia is a good stopover, even if it's a bit off the beaten track—the detour is worth it! https://www.maison-du-canal.fr/

A lovely little stopover along the Canal, not far from Vitteaux. Head to the little bistro (red sign), where you'll eat like kings for next to nothing.

In addition to strolling around the village, you can freely visit (and for free) the anise museum, discover the old workshops, the crypt of the abbey, and end up in the shop and buy small anise candies with different flavors.
