The Voie Vert are great cycle paths.

July 22, 2025,Rundtour von Chalon Sur Saône - Canal du central – Rully - Mercurey - Givry - Chalon sur Saône
A beautiful tour from Chalon-sur-Saône into the hinterland.

Starting in the center of Chalon-sur-Saône, we head to the Canal du Central and follow it upstream through several barrages. As soon as we leave the city, we are greeted by the tranquility of the French hinterland. Fantastic.
