Here the canal joins the meanders of the Yonne on several small segments. This is an opportunity to discover the river up close at the Parc woods.

Cycling in the Yonne Valley offers a scenic and invigorating ride. You will be surrounded by spectacular rock formations and the tranquil flow of the Yonne River. As you pedal, you can admire the cliffs that rise majestically above the river.

Straddling the Nièvre and the Yonne, a very pretty little asphalt road. Quiet and surrounded by woods, it connects the hamlets of Villeprenoy and Charmois, via the Vaux d'Oisy.

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.
