The starting point is at Lock No. 6 in Villeneuve-sur-Yonne, very close by in the former waterworks building, now converted into a restaurant (Au Vieux Tilleul).
(S/E) Take the towpath on the right bank of the Yonne, continuing straight ahead (the river will be on your left). At the junction with the path leading to the sewage treatment works, carry on straight ahead.
(1) At the next junction, take the path branching off to the right under the high-voltage power lines, skirting the lake on your left, which is visible in places. The path goes round the lake to the right, running parallel to the RD606.
(2) A few hundred metres further on, at the Fork in the road, take the path that continues straight ahead, running alongside a second lake. Follow this path as it turns left, whilst continuing to run alongside this second lake.
(3) Turn right onto the lane that winds its way between a series of private lakes before joining a tarmac road.
(4) Turn left. Continue in the same direction until you reach the River Yonne.
(5) Turn left onto the towpath which runs between the river on the right and a lake on the left. Carry on straight ahead, passing the leisure centre on your left.
(1) Follow the same route you took on the way there in the opposite direction until you reach the starting point (S/E).
