First, you cross the town of Montereau, the highlight being the Gothic collegiate church and the double bridge at the confluence of the Seine and the Yonne. Next, you follow the towpath, which is mostly shaded. Finally, you climb to a higher elevation before descending to Vernou-sur-Seine station.

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.
