Voie Bleue & Eurovélo 6

The great cycling adventure

EuroVélo 6 Atlantic - Black Sea and the Voie Bleue cover several regions and countries over thousands of kilometers and welcome cycling enthusiasts and beginners alike. In our region, these two routes merge to offer a unique experience: a peaceful journey along the Saône and Doubs rivers, dotted with authentic villages, bridges, and gourmet stops.

From Verdun-Ciel to Chalon-sur-Saône : 20km along the Saône, ideal for a safe family cycling day.

From Verdun-Ciel to Seurre : 20km on a quiet road, lined with grain fields and running alongside the Doubs river for a few kilometers.

La Voie Bleue is a nearly 700-kilometer route along the water's edge, from Lyon to Luxembourg.
