Two possible options today with:

Dinner and overnight at the same hotel in Montbard.

 

Day 4 - Circuit from Montbard to Semur en Auxois - 35 to 57 km

The Burgundy Canal leaves the Brenne valley to rise gently towards its division reach. This is the Pouillenay ladder with 37 locks in 12 km: A real ordeal for the sailors! For cyclists, a multiplied chance to witness serenely the captivating spectacle of lock maneuvers.
In the evening, take the time to appreciate the calm of the edge of the Burgundy Canal.
Dinner in a restaurant and overnight in a charming residence.

You will not have time to visit everything.
