A lovely bridge to reach Villefranche-sur-Saône from Beauregard, accessible only on foot or by bicycle.

A "chemin de halage", or in German "treidelpfad", which runs alongside the waterway right next to the bed of the river or canal, was an indispensable part of the transport infrastructure in earlier times. Before ships could move using motor power, horses ran along the bank and pulled the ship against the current. This was called "treideln", and this is how the "treidelpfads" got their name, which has been passed down to this day. Where these paths directly on the bank have been preserved, they are often used by hikers and cyclists.

A superb view of the Beaujolais mountains, the mirror of the Saône.

Very pretty gravel path, very rolling during off-peak hours. A little boring over time like most towpaths.
