Canal de Bourgogne and Its Locks

Highlight • Structure

The Burgundy Canal connects the Yonne to the Saône.
It crosses picturesque landscapes of Burgundy.
It is also a crossing of the history of this region with these monuments which run along it.

The towpath all along the canal has been converted into a pedestrian and cycle path.
It allows you to ride in peace and fresh air!

Les Lodges du Canal de Bourgogne

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Lodges du Canal De Bourgogne are unusual accommodations along the Canal.
A cabin boat, a lock keeper's house and several wooden houses on stilts. The accommodations each have private Nordic baths.

The estate is located at lock keeper house 31Y in Chassey near Alésia and Semur-en-Auxois.

Maison du Canal de Bourgogne

Highlight • Restaurant

A wonderful location on the Canal de Bourgogne, 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 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! maison-du-canal.fr

Highest Point of the Canal de Bourgogne

Highlight • Cycleway

After about 40 locks have bridged a height difference of just over 100 m over a distance of about 15 km, the highest level for the canal and cycle path is reached here. The climb out of the valley begins at lock no. 55 and reaches the highest point at lock no. 16.
