Canal du Centre

Highlight • River

At the gates of Chagny, the Canal du Center is an ideal place for walks away from road traffic. The setting is superb and shady.

Couches Castle

Highlight • Castle

this medieval castle is located at the entrance of Couches (meaning Chalon sur Saône / Autun) it would have been the prison where Marguerite of Burgundy, queen of France and wife of Louis le Hutin would have been imprisoned following the affair of the tower of Nesle in Paris around 1315.
the Château can be visited and is really worth a detour for those interested in history.

The Canal du Centre was built between 1783 and 1793 to ensure communication between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. The greenway that runs alongside the canal is part of EuroVelo 6 and skirts southern Burgundy between the Saône and the Loire.

This segment offers beautiful panoramas of the Santenay vineyards.
