The Cousin River at Pontaubert and Avallon

Highlight (Segment) • River

A pretty flat segment along the Le Cousin river from Pontaubert to Avallon. The road is shaded and it is pleasantly cool to cycle along the river. The water is not drinkable, but it is nice to stop for a quick swim (the water is not deep).

The Basilica of Sainte-Marie-Madeleine has been listed as UNESCO since 1979. It is one of the starting points of the Santiago de Compostela trail. It is here that Saint Bernard preached the second crusade. It is a high place of Christianity.
