Greenway of the Canal du Centre

Highlight • Cycleway

Very good quality road in the forest, partially shaded, without cars because of the cycle path. In total, the Canal du Center greenway is 129 km long and goes from Chalon to Digoin.

A pretty big basin below the lock.
Almost like a small harbor.

Highlight • Other

There is still something going on here - at least the mural signals that not everything is "abandoned" here.

Very nice tour departing from the city of Le Creusot to the rhythm of "walking I enjoy it!" Meeting with a superb butterfly!
