Pouillenay

#Pouillenay

Canal locks: 37 to 55 Yonne

Next upstream Yonne side town: Marigny le Chouet

Next downstream Yonne side village: Venarey Les Laumes

On the canal, this section is called the Échelle de Pouillenay "Staircase of Pouillenay". Locks 37 to 55 arrive in quick succession

Heading upstream, you'll encounter the "Échelle de Chessey" staircase of Chessey (locks 31 to 36) and then the "Échelle de Marigny", the staircase of Pouillenay (locks 15 to 540).

This is the closest canal stop to the historical medieval town of Semur-en-Auxois (11 kilometres), which has been voted one of the most attractive in France.

Flavigny-sur-Ozerai is also only 6 kilometres away. This small village is home to the filming of the film "Chocolat"

Close by is a very good Zoo called "Parc de l'Auxois"
