June 24, 2025,Tour of Burgundy 05A Clamecy to Châtillon-en-Bazois 64km
Another pretty ride, not much canal traffic or cyclists. The number of locks in a very short distance is amazing. No boulangerie or cafes along the way, near to Bazois the La Marine is a very good option for food and drink. Usual lack of evening eating places at Chatillon en Bazois, like zero so lucky the gite we staying …
The Canal du Nivernais is a watershed canal; with 32 locks it goes up 74 m to 260 m above sea level and with 78 locks it goes down 165 m.

The highest section goes through 3 tunnels near the municipality of La Collancelle.
