A former Benedictine abbey, it belonged to the diocese of Langres until 1731, then to the diocese of Dijon until 1791, when it and its possessions were sold as national property. Much of it was destroyed in 1805, but many buildings remain, such as these two 15th-century towers, a wash house, the convent buildings, and the remains of the 12th-century abbey church.

In 2025, the area around the canal port was renovated. The place, which was a bit gloomy before, is now much more welcoming.

The history of this very interesting church dates back to the 6th century. The parish website provides many interesting details about the building: https://www.saint-michel-dijon.com/

Not only rivers as natural watercourses run through the country, but also many - artificially created - canals. In times long past, they were an essential part of the transport infrastructure, before rail and road took over this role. But even if this canal flowing through Burgundy is nowhere near as famous as the almost legendary "Canal du Midi" (which has at least been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site), the "Canal de Bourgogne" here near Dijon offers very nice opportunities for exercise in nature.
