Greenway of Southern Burgundy

Highlight • Cycleway

Superb Voie Verte which passes through the vineyard. On this portion, we discover the Mâconnais which covers the hillsides up to the rocks of Solutre-Pouilly-Vergisson. A must that enriches this itinerary labeled “Bike & cheese”.

The Castle of Berzé-le-Châtel
(also known as Forteresse de Berzé) is the largest and best-preserved medieval castle in Southern Burgundy.


The complex dates back to a 10th-century castrum and was strategically built on a rocky outcrop to protect the nearby powerful Abbey of Cluny.

The fortress consists of three
ring walls and features 13 towers (including two keeps/donjons) as well as an imposing gatehouse. The heart of the interior is a remarkable Carolingian chapel.

Bois clair tunnel

Highlight (Segment) • Other

At 1.6 kilometers long, it is the longest tunnel in France accessible by bike and open to a greenway. Don't forget to bring warm clothing when crossing, because the interior temperature is only around 11°C!
The Bois Clair tunnel is used by cyclists and pedestrians; it was once a railway line.
It is home to a population of protected bats which come to hibernate there. This is why it is closed between October and April. You must then use the diversion via route 14 which takes the Cluny road and the D17.

Cluny

Highlight • Settlement

The town of Cluny was based on the Benedictine monastery (Cluniac Abbey), founded in 910. The abbey was the starting point and center of the Cluniac reform at the beginning of the 10th century. Cluny reached its peak membership at the beginning of the 12th century with approximately 400 monks.

The last abbey church (Cluniac 3) was the world's largest Romanesque basilica and, until the construction of today's St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, the largest church in Christendom. The church had seven towers.

Although large parts of the building were destroyed, the remaining relics are absolutely remarkable and make a visit to Cluny an unforgettable experience!

Col du Bois Clair

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The fantastic Via Verde bike route follows its converted former railbed comfortably flat for a long time, except in Oct-Apr when the tunnel is closed and bikers must climb over this steep road summit.

Voie vertes are really nice to cycle on, no steep inclines or downhills.
