Corre / Port-sur-Saône

Along this stage, La Voie Bleue runs beside the Saône, gradually rising above the river. This part of the route may prove quite demanding, but it has grandeur. At Jussey, the many washhouses and fountains contribute to the charm of this village, designated a Cité de Caractère Bourgogne - Franche-Comté. Leaving Jussey, there’s an impressive descent, while the view of the surrounding hills is panoramic. Enjoy a stop at the river port of Fouchécourt to admire the Saône and recharge your batteries before heading on to Port-sur-Saône and its marina. This place has a rich history, long serving as a tourist crossroads along the Saône.

The route

This stage is being laid out at time of writing, with provisional signposting in place, taking you along quiet country and county roads. There are slopes to tackle, leaving Jussey and to go up to Chargey-lès-Port. Take care on the main N9 road leading to the centre of Port-sur-Saône; here, there are no specific provisions for cyclists and many lorries use this busy road.
