We spent most of the next three days on the towpath, except for a diversion to Vitteaux made necessary by a lack of accommodation on the canal itself. This part of Burgundy was the scene of the final showdown between the Romans and the Gauls, which added a certain piquancy to our progress.
During this stage we had two splendid restaurant dinners and one less splendid picnic, but the camping grounds were uniformly beautiful and we found plenty of bars to keep us going during the day. The weather was good, although we did get rained on once.
This and the following section were part of a longer walk that we did in 2015.
Day 4: Pont d’Ouche to Pouilly-en-Auxois
Day 5: Pouilly-en-Auxois to Vitteaux
Day 6: Vitteaux to Venarey-les-Laumes
