Fabulous cycleway along the bank of the River Saone. Good surface, good access onto it, and back off again. Good connections to major towns, and small villages along the length of the Saone.

The cycle path is built on the old towpath on the banks of the Saône between Marnay and Tournus. With the proximity of the water, we come across boaters and also birds which testify to the environmental value of the place. Along the way, cyclists can stop at water sports stops and other establishments, some of which offer tire inflation services.
