Auxonne / Saint-Jean-de-Losne

I begin / Family
La Voie Bleue cycle route leaves Auxonne’s fortifications behind, taking you via quiet little roads through the Burgundy countryside. You now encounter the EuroVelo 6 cycle route, and the Canal du Rhône au Rhin, which leads you gently back to the banks of the Saône. Following the east bank, as you come up to St-Jean-de-Losne, you get a wonderful view onto this port with its fine riverside quays. This makes for an unmissable stop along the route.

Your cycling adventure continues after a last look back at France’s foremost river port. This stage of La Voie Bleue then meanders between river and countryside. Along the way, you encounter the impressive Canal de Dérivation de la Saône (a bypass canal) before rejoining the Saône and reaching the peaceful port of Seurre. From Pagny, it is possible to reach the Abbaye de Cîteaux via quiet little roads. It’s some 12km to get to this abbey, where the Cistercian Order was founded in 1098.
