Walk down to the bank of the Burgundy Canal and follow it to the right. Continue to lock 114/115, known as the Laroche Lock, the first and highest lock on the Burgundy Canal. Cross Avenue du Port then continue straight ahead along the outer harbour.
(1) Continue along Rue Pierre et Marie Curie, following the banks of the Yonne for about 250m. Turn slightly left to continue along the Quai de l’Yonne for about 1km to the first bridge.
(2) Cross the bridge, then turn immediately left (GR®213) and follow the banks of the Yonne in the opposite direction along the towpath. Pass under the railway line and continue to the next bridge.
(3) Take the footpath and cycle path to go up onto the bridge. Cross it (D177) and pass in front of the river works site. Continue along the D177 until the junction with the D43. Then turn left and go under the railway bridge again via the “underpass”.
(4) Immediately after exiting the tunnel, cross Avenue du Port again. Follow the Canal de Bourgogne along Rue du Port du Canal until you reach the iron footbridge spanning it. Cross the footbridge to return to the starting point (S/E).
