Pont de Pany

#PontDePany
Canal locks: 38, 39 Saône side
Next upstream Saône side village: Sainte-Marie-sur-Ouche
Next downstream Saône side village: Fleurey-sur-Ouche
The old postcard shown above proves that things do remain the same.
If you're cruising upstream from Dijon, the canal will turn to the right, and the Ouche Valley becomes much narrower and hugs the River Ouche.
There is a small road that passes in front of the lock house, which takes you over the hills and towards Nuit-Saint-Georges and the vineyards.
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 feudal times. You'll find a baker, a post office, a bar and a restaurant. On the village square, there is often a small market.
In the village, you will find a pharmacy and a post office.
Just above lock 38 on the towpath side, there is a comfortable place to moor.
Below the lock, there is a turning area for 30-metre barges.
