Burgundy banks on the EuroVelo 6 route

Cycling from Nevers to Dole, along the EuroVelo 6 route, means crossing the Burgundy region by following the River Loire, the Centre Canal then the River Saône. This cycle tourist route covers several greenways and goes through some interesting towns: the spa town of Bourbon-Lancy, the harbour in Digoin, producer of ceramic, the place of pilgrimage in Paray-le-Monial, the town of Chalon-sur-Saône, homeland of Nicephore Niepce, the inventor of photography. At the level of Chagny, the cycle route runs alongside the Burgundy ‘grands crus’ vineyards (possible detour towards the cycle path of the Burgundy wines).
