Gare de Villeneuve-la-Guyard walks

This is the first stage of the Via Burgundia®, which takes you across the whole of Burgundy from Montereau-Fault-Yonne to Mâcon, south of Saône-et-Loire. This major route, covering almost 500 km, is divided into three sections: the Yonne section, the Morvan section and, finally, the Southern Burgundy section. This first section follows the course of the River Yonne from its confluence with the River Seine to Pont-sur-Yonne. It involves very little elevation gain but remains a fairly long stage if you cover it in a single day. The route winds its way along the River Yonne, past fields of cereals and ponds (or ‘noues’), particularly after Bichain.

A walking route from station to station, starting at Montereau Fault-Yonne station and ending at Villeneuve-la-Guyard along the River Yonne, allowing you to explore the ponds and marshes near the finish. A peaceful, quiet walk along the water’s edge, passing through the village of Misy-sur-Yonne, which is known for its historic site.
