Saint-Gengoux to Cormatin rail trail

Highlight (Segment) • Other

Excellent straight section of a rail-to-trail route, perfectly paved and flat or very mild grades, a biker's dream.

Very beautiful 17th century chateau to visit, between gardens and moats. Nearby, also a body of water with facilities to spend the day, or the night if you are in a bivouac!

Voie verte of Southern Burgundy

Highlight • Cycleway

Voie vertes in France are great for cycling as they generally do not include steep climbs or downhills. Combine multiple voie vertes for long-distance rides.

Cluny

Highlight • Settlement

The town of Cluny was based on the Benedictine monastery (Cluniac Abbey), founded in 910. The abbey was the starting point and center of the Cluniac reform at the beginning of the 10th century. Cluny reached its peak membership at the beginning of the 12th century with approximately 400 monks.

The last abbey church (Cluniac 3) was the world's largest Romanesque basilica and, until the construction of today's St. Peter's Basilica in Rome, the largest church in Christendom. The church had seven towers.

Although large parts of the building were destroyed, the remaining relics are absolutely remarkable and make a visit to Cluny an unforgettable experience!

After a start to the stage supported by the mountains, the cows and the dogs the last 35 km were on the sub Bourgogne greenway, an old railway line.

210909 - THURSDAY - Chalon-sur-Saone to Cluny

The night became restless due to problems with my digestive tract. I had to skip breakfast, Noélle, a former nurse, had nursed me back up until noon so that we could follow the other 4 who had driven ahead.

October 4, 2023,🇫🇷 Chalon-sur-Saône: Auf dem Voie Verte zum Château de Cormatin 🏰🧔/👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

The Voie Verte [railway route] was the first in France [created in 1997]. I was traveling alone until 🏰. Then we tour the castle together [with a guided tour👍], including the castle park and labyrinth - a great experience. Finally, a little exercise: rolling out loosely with the wheels.
PS: We didn't make it to Cluny Abbey - later. 😊🧔
