Nivernais Canal Greenway — From Clamecy to Pousseaux

Highlight (Segment) • Other

Greenway of the Niverais canal, very well developed, between Clamecy and Pousseaux. The track is tarmac, however you should not expect a smooth surface.

Between the two towns, you can see the climbing cliffs and the very beautiful Chartreuse de Basseville.

Historic centre of Clamecy

Highlight • Historical Site

The town of Clamecy has some old medieval buildings, walks along the Yonne and a museum retracing the epic tale of log floating. You will find some nice restaurants at the foot of the collegiate church and in the city center. The cathedral is superb and deserves some time.

June 11, 2026,🇫🇷 Tour de Bourgogne_6: Clamecy - Migennes

After a rain shower during the night, the tents are wet inside and out from condensation, and it takes a while until they are provisionally dried . . . the sun is missing. With a low of 8 degrees Celsius, it was the coldest night of the tour so far.
