The village of Pont de Pany
The old postcard shown above, proves that things do remain the same. The lock marks the entrance to the Valley Ouche. Dijon is to the right and the canal also makes a right turn when heading downstream. There is a small road that passes in front of the lock house which takes you over the hills and towads Nuit Saint Georges.
The village was once a very important "Bread" market, hence the name "Pain". The bridge crossing the river Ouche was also an important frontier during the fuedal times. You'll find a baker, post office, bar and restaurant. On the small market place there is often a small market
Hidden in the forest, you will fid the Luxury hotel Chateau la Chassagne, with an excellent restaurant and is an ideal holiday destination. More information
