Weekend break just 1 hour from Dijon
48 hours on the banks of the Saône
Need to recharge your batteries? You're in the right place... alone or with your family, friends or partner, the Rives de Saône site is the ideal place to switch off and enjoy all the pleasures that nature has to offer: swimming, cycling, and even a spot of heritage!
Day 1 - morning
Canoeing on the Saône
Go canoeing in a natural setting, on safe descents that are accessible to anyone who knows how to swim. Have fun learning about the local wildlife, vegetation and heritage from the information panels dotted along the way. Find out how the river and ecosystem function with the help of a route guide system that you can take with you.
Relax and let the association's volunteers provide everything you need (boat, paddles, life jacket, route guide, questionnaire, etc.).
Day 1 - Afternoon
Bike ride along the river Saône
The Rives de Saône site features canals and the iconic river Saône… with a towpath that now takes cyclists along the Blueway or EuroVélo6 itineraries. This waterway has always been navigated and today is mostly used by pleasure boaters.

Day 1 - Afternoon
Cruise around Saint-Jean-de-Losne
You can take to the water at Saint-Jean-de-Losne where you can sit back and enjoy the ride on a boat cruise.
If you have a few days, another option is to play at skipper aboard a small barge (no permit required) over a weekend or longer.
Day 1 - Evening
Our recommendation for drinks and nibbles at the water's edge
A relaxing break on a terrace on the banks of Chour lake, far from the crowds in a natural setting...
Day 2
Children's activities galore at the Etang Rouge open-air museum
The Etang Rouge… a ruby-coloured pond? Actually no, it's a reconstructed village from 1850 where you'll find activities for the whole family: ancient games, an escape game and a whole programme of cultural activities from May to September, as well as a vast wooded park for walks, picnics, and learning…
