A stroll to the confluence of the Yonne and the Burgundy Canal, offering the chance to discover the two driving forces behind Migennes’ development: the digging of the Burgundy Canal and the arrival of the railway.

The path reveals the intertwining of the forest and human activities, agricultural enclaves, hamlets, logging areas, always close to the majestic atmosphere of the forest. From the top of these tall trees, centuries contemplate us. It also shows the first impacts of climate change, with dry ponds, emaciated trees and new species. It invites us to give the forest back its freedom to adapt and migrate at its own pace, to let it take control. The trail aims to restore a sense of confidence in what nature and the forest can achieve with and even without us. It is this forest that the Ruban Vert wishes to help migrate to the next forest massifs of the woods and ponds of the Gâtinais in Burgundy.

This varied route allows you to explore the commune of Dixmont – the seat of a royal castellany in the12th century – and its surroundings.
