The "Voie Verte" course, developed by the Saône-&-Loire Departmental Council, consists of a cycling path more than 120 km long laid out on a paved, smooth rolling surface along a former railroad line and canal towpaths.
A number of facilities and services are accessible all along the route: car parking lots, water faucets, lavatories, picnic grounds, shaded rest stops, benches, bicycle parking, bike and roller skate rentals and skate parks, among others…

A total of 24 touring loops for the cyclist, all well-marked , are associated with the "Voie Verte"; they have been designed to allow exploring and relishing the artistic and cultural life experienced here in Southern Burgundy.

A "Voie Verte development programme", voted by the Saône-&-Loire Departmental Council, calls for a network of some 400 km of cycling paths throughout the department over a 5-year horizon.
