The rocks of Saussois located in the town of Merry-sur-Yonne are very popular with climbing enthusiasts who do not hesitate to come from Paris (located only 200 kilometers) to climb these limestone walls some fifty meters high. .

The Yonne and the Park Rocks

This small village is located in a rich geological location. It is on the border of the limestone plateau of Burgundy and the granite Morvan. Only 540 people live here. Here you will find several wine merchants and even a grocery store open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

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.

Canal de Nivernais Towpath

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Beautiful, sometimes sunny, sometimes shady, stretch of the Canal de Nivernais. Great to drive with children, varied through locks of different types, bascule bridges or pretty "Fermes" left and right
