Slightly bigger and busier roads today – but faster cycling! Having rejoined the Yonne at Sens we set off up river. Coffee was at Villeneuve sur Yonne, and lunch at Joigny.

From there it was a short hop upriver to the start of the Burgundy canal at the confluence of the Yonne and Armancon. We set off along the towpath of the canal, following the course of the Armancon.
But the (lack of) surface was not kind to the backsides, so we were soon back to the road again. Just as well that we weren’t planning to ride the towpath all the way to Dijon! Tonight we are in Brienon sur Armancon.
